In the 9-10 years that I have been a member I have learned much. Gone from trying to understand personal credit to establishing a solid history to obsession to just playing it as a hobby.
The education I have received here has also kept more self conscious about credit habits.
@CreditMagic7 @pizza1 @12njoy and many others have been nothing but extremely supportive.
@FinStar has been a very nice online friend.
The last decade has brought me many highs and lows. this year brought my most horrible low when I lost my wife to COVID.
I can always return here and see nothing but positivity.
thank you
@woodyman100 Very sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to you and your family. I, like you, have learned so much from everyone here. I remember back in 2012 starting with a 575 score and my first $500 Walmart store card. Then, I had no idea about credit. I was happy and content when I received my first $5,000 limit card. Today though I'm strickly doing this as a hobby. I've had my up and downs throughout the last ten years, but it has truly been an enriching experiment for me. With the various members such as yourself, I'm able to stay pretty grounded and focused. Wishing you and your family a safe and prosperous new year with your beloved angel showering you and your family with much joy and love.

Oh my, @woodyman100, I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers and healing for you and your family.
I'm glad you still find the forums a safe refuge and have friends you can depend on here.
This forum is an incredible online resource for credit knowledge but it can be so much more.

So sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine losing my wife and it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. I just lost my Dad on the 23rd. I just like to think he is in a better place and hopefully reunited with my Mom.
I hope the same is true for your wife and she will be waiting for you. One thing I always tell myself is that if my wife dies first at least she doesn't have to suffer the pain of losing me.
I know no words can really help but I am glad you enjoy coming here. I also feel it is a very nice community,
So sorry for your loss! My condolences.
I'm glad you find comfort in these forums though. We'll always be here for you.
