Whenever I got anything with a return envelope included, I would put one thing’s return form into another thing’s return envelope and vice versa so the junk mail could become pen pals or something.
Once upon a time, Sears was everyone’s first credit card. Every time I applied for an increase in the credit limit, they issued another card. You can’t buy a $500 item with three cards, each with a $200 limit. 1970s.
“Computers” are funny, My son went to buy a car and financed it. The next day he received a message from his credit union saying he was pre-approved for an auto loan. # days later a letter came in the mail that said the car dealer had tried to finance from them and they turned him down. So much for pre-approval. Nothing is final until the T’s and I’s are done.

Those credit card offers will begin to lose their charm once he starts getting 5 or 10 every week.

Explain TANSTAAFL to Toby. He might be adult enough to get it.
Or explain it to Eddie who’s smart enough and let him explain it to his brother.

I like that Greg. I wish I’d started destroying the applications sooner.

The rite of passage into manhood is being able to pay your credit card debt.
