Kinda ridiculous I am just thinking about this now...but um, how the hell do I build credit/good credit!? I don't own or use any form of a credit/debit card. Always just used cash or gave cash to somebody to let me use their card. But ya know I can't do that forever and sooner or later I'll need a loan of some sorts. Any ideas? I'm clueless :-\

If you have student loans, those count towards credit. Otherwise, your just going to have to bite the bullet and apply for a credit card. There will be a bank out there that is willing to give you credit.

Once you have a credit card, or something that counts towards your credit score, just make sure you make the payments on time. Ideally, you'll want to pay the entire balance off every month so that you don't incur interest charges. If you can't pay it in full though, then pay off the minimum balance by the due date to keep your credit in good standing. That's the basics I believe. There's a whole lot more to it though.

One more thing, you should at the very least get your free annual credit report every year and check to make sure there are no inconsistencies. If you want to check it more than once, you'll usually have to pay.
 
I had a feeling it would be you Creepin' to reply! Honestly you are one of the most helpful members on this forum :) Thanks. I do not have student loans so I guess a credit card is my only option at this point. Now what should I look for with getting one? I'm sure I've heard people say some are better than others for some reason or another.
 
My Dad just got me and him two tickets for the free advanced screening of Jack@$$ 3D on base here. (It hasn't came out yet. It'll be out on Christmas Eve.) And get this... Wee-Man will be there. Excited? Oh yes, I am

I'm tired so I'll depart. Good night everyone!
 
Here is my snatch of the week!
I was in an indoor flea market and saw this. I just had to have it. It was only $1.50.

This is the first black version of the Original Game Boy that I have actually seen. It is in prime condition and works great.

It was part of the "Play it loud" series in the OGB line.

Thanks! I try my best to help out. :)

The first thing to do when looking at an application is to read the fine print. Look at the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for the card. This will be the amount of interest they will charge on your balance. You will obviously want one that's really low, but since you're a new customer, you probably won't get the best deal. Some cards do have rewards programs but I would suggest getting one of those once you have built enough good credit.

Thanks bud will do! How do I get an app for one just online or something?
 
^Ugh, I hate them. :sick

I need your help, eGA!
Is this a good deal? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002H3BSCM/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=
It looks great to me. I'm a geek so if it doesn't work I can make it work. :P
I mainly want to record my Wii SSBB videos to my PC.. ;)

Or, on another note, would this work for that purpose? 'Tis a lot cheaper, and I'm on a tight budget.. http://www.amazon.com/3-RCA-to-USB-Cable/dp/B002W79FZA/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_c
I'm not good with video things like that, so I'm wondering. I know no software would come with it, and nothing to tell it to "record"
Would VirtualDub or some other free software detect it?

quality and resolution will be low since it's only S-video and composite. So if all you care about is being able to see the video, then it's cool. Otherwise, I would recommend a higher quality capture device.
 
Yeah, all I want is a little video. Doesn't have to be high quality.

I think it looks good, but I'll look around before I do, just to be sure...
 
just spent $20 on magic the gathering cards for an amazing green/white enchantment aura deck. i feel happy xD
