[quote=paramount]I think this is the real analogy: Using a credit card to make the payment on the credit card, and then needing a credit increase to continue using the credit card to make the minimum payment on the credit card.
Man that makes my head hurt….[/quote]
I think the more complete picture would be…
First using a credit card to make the payment on the credit card.
Then request a credit increase to make the minimum payment on the credit card.
….But, in order to qualify for the credit increase on the second credit card, going into a convenient store, holding the owner at gunpoint and simultaneously taking some money out of the cash register and making him co-sign a loan guarantee document to the credit card company.
… All while telling the onlooking stunned customers that the owner is the enemy…like he’s a terrorist…because, after all, how else could he have earned that money
… and that emptying part of his cash register is OK…. because he won’t miss it anyway and it will fix everything….
….and then giving out free beer in the store to everyone looking on, so that no one in the store cares….
… which will be paid for by the first credit card, of course.
