The post whore thread.

I'm currently sitting on about $60,000 of available credit with almost 99% of that being available. Should be able to avoid that trap. I don't want more debt, as even a small amount can quickly eliminate any benefit from rewards.

I'm interested in what kind of rewards are available with a $450 annual fee. My Amex Blue Cash card has a $75 annual fee that pisses me off. I can't imagine $450.

1 emergency and that $60K becomes $120 of debt.

Especially since 33% of the 60 is available in credit cards, such would be a terrible way to try and manage an expensive emergency.

There's a trick for that. You set a coffee mug (or otherwise-appropriate-sized container) at the back of your machine, near where the spindle sits, and place the large spool in there. Then thread your machine as per normal.

FYI, Joanne's has sales on their thread about four times per year, buy one get one free. FWIW, I find Coats to be the best brand they carry. Hancocks going-out-of-business sale is the place to scoop up right now; they have 40-yard spools for under 3 dollars. Or they did a couple of weeks ago.

(Whoops, I meant 400-yard. Thanks for catching that, Irving!)

You mean 400 yd spools?

Yep! They're in neutral colors: Navy, tan/beige, black and white.

Got a new cabinet for my reloading stuff. Needs paint and leveled up and it'll be GTG.

IRVING, MAKE GOOD CHOICES! DEBT IS BAAAAAAAAD!

My philosophy on credit card rewards is that it would be safer, quicker, and less of a hassle just to pick up some side work or sell some old stuff than to try to manage the points and deal with those scammy credit card lowlifes when trying to cancel or make changes. It just seems like a really silly, tedious, and risky way to try to get ahead in life. ...In fact, I can't think of a single successful or wealthy person who got there with credit card rewards points.
