I view the garden as my support group for staying out of applying. The rest is up to the will power of each individual.
It's a sense of relief (for me personally) to go in the garden and report in as a milestone for not applying and looking at others who have no either. Without the sanity of the garden,, we would only be looking at the 'I'm approved' or 'I'm declined' threads.
What anyone can draw from it is very different however, the basic concept is that it's a place to congregate when we feel like we have done enough apping and to escape the credit app frenzy threads
That's my version and I'm sticking to it
