I could probably play the conservation gave for some year, keep a single paid off car and find 3k/month to cover mortgage paper. It would be nice if either the banks or the government would at least peel back to property taxes or principal payments to help.

I always thought prudence and paying off all debt was the move, and it figures that I went from a paid off house to a new mortgage on a nicer house + cottage all within a year of this retardation. Talk about timing.
If we really go full :nuke: cash will be worthless.
You shut the fuck up. We haven't saved our whole adult lives for nothing.

What do you expect would happen with this debt ? Pay off whatever has highest interest first not some % of limit

You are not alone..... we just gave $14K to a contractor as Half of the total for a basement Reno (that is on hold indefinitely) and financed $25K on the T-Reg when the Teeg would have been paid off next month....

TIming has never been our strong suit.....

What are the banker bros saying lately?
I’ve been out of the loop a bit lately, big deadline I can’t miss coming up in 2 weeks. But, you have places like BoA saying we’re headed towards Great Depression levels of unemployment.
This is going to be a weird dip/slowdown/recession with unemployment being front loaded and will go down as time goes on.

We suffer together brother. If we come out of this somehow this will change a lot of people. I thought I had my shit together, but the cottage might go so I can pay my house off assuming there will be equity in that bitch, but even that is a case of timing. If I sell it I might see an enormous upswing LOL

Strong case of Troyconomics happening here.

A lot of wealth has been wiped out, but the fed is planning to drop $1T? That should get the ball rolling won't it?

My wife booked all the kids summer camps, and after school programs on her CC last month. We have the cash to pay it off in full and are still getting paid. Do we put a big dent into our loose cash and pay it off of pay the $10 min. Her card is at 70% maxed out, mine is at 25% maxed.

Been there, done that.

Should’ve sat on my stack of cash and been happy. Hindsight is a bitch.
At least your money is safer in something like a car than the market, :doe:

Yeah everyone's getting hammered. I've lost a lot from the market crash, but I'm sitting on my hands and riding it out. Paid off my credit card and that's it.

For the MOMENT, I have my job secure, at least. They can't let me go because I'm the only person who knows how 3 very :troywax: experiments function at all. There's job security in lack of documentation, folks :fullretard:

I'm just worried what some email in the next few days is gonna have to say about me maybe getting evicted.

For me it is theoretically pay off the balance that you owe, but that's just me. But I'm also told to keep the 70% limit, say your limit is $1,000 and the balance that you owe is $700, if you continuously don't exceed that, your score won't go down. Basically if you're maxed out and good enough to only pay minimum payment continuously for a few months, it will bring your score down. I've been through that ishh at one point.
My wife booked all the kids summer camps, and after school programs on her CC last month. We have the cash to pay it off in full and are still getting paid. Do we put a big dent into our loose cash and pay it off of pay the $10 min. Her card is at 70% maxed out, mine is at 25% maxed.

so basically 10/min is more like an interval payment that will eventually bring up to total? If you put a big dent and don't plan on say getting a car which requires credit score as far as loan is concern, that's not exactly the biggest risk there is. But with the situation we are in right now, it's best to not :troywax: and do the 10/min interval

as :derp: y as may sound, basically don't worry too much. I'm not saying "oh it's nothing, it'll blow over quick". Relax, be happy that you're in a better financial situation that say atleast 40% of the people in the country. If you think too much that you may be subjected to eviction, it may actually happen. Basically "live" as you can as conditions permit and who knows what can happen.
