Howdy, howdy boys and girls!
Work was stupid, and I am tired. I'm over 40 hours with two days to go.
While no one has gotten fired this week (...yet. That I'm aware of...) another man told me that he's leaving...
That'd be four guys gone in four weeks. The proverbial sky is falling.
No credit news. Ever.
So, class warfare jokes are still a thing.
To those who said people never learn, you nailed it (unfortunately).

just wait until the 15th when I drop about $1500 on the other card. I might dip to below 500. But I paid two collections and about to pay a third so with time it should be fine. It's just disheartening to see big steps return negative returns
Are the paid collections a pay for delete?
One is and one isn't. Just having them paid gets a bump. I'll let them fall off or maybe GW a deletion attempt later. I just want all my bad ones to be paid and in the rear view and UTI down where it belongs so any credit attempt I can try to recon a bad decision.
also what's up with NFCU? I have my first card stuck at $2k I tried a CLI 90 days/3 statements of $500. They said no soup for you. I said screw yall. So I did what any rational person would do and applied for a second card they gave me $5100. ?????since then that card got a CLI and the original one was turned down three times
NFCU is hard to figure out sometimes. 🤷

Congrats!, ..I heard "Ramada" is top tier
True story - for a family wedding in BFE Louisiana, they secured a scary looking La Quinta for room bookings.
I thought I'd live large at the Ramada instead.
I'm still not sure if I made the right choice, though the roaches didn't seem to mind a roommate.
(there were no other hotel choices, because even 23 y.o. poor lab-tech me would've found a way to spring for a nicer place if it were possible).
I have stayed in La Quintas lots of times. I didn't see anything wrong with them.

Same. Maybe I'm just desensitized after spending some time living in a cheap motel when I was a kid and mom lost her apartment but I have stayed at a LaQuinta a number of times and would happily do it again.

I actually was a Wyndham elite (and Accor which is more common in the EU) prior to jumping ship to Marriott and Starwood 4 years ago. I have had many perfectly fine stays at Super 8 and other Wyndham brands in my life.
I am still here. I am working on paying off this Navy Fed card once and for all. Got a little over 11k left.
In other news, Macy's hates me and won't give me a monthly increase. Oh well. I have applied for and got the pre-approval for a mortgage so back to seedling I go. I am excited about buying a new home (new construction)
That is the absolute best way to leave the garden, and no one is going to worry about you talking about one of those apps. (We've not had any issues with a serial mortgage applicant... yet. LOL) Congratulations and welcome back!

Woot!!!
