1. Yep and they'll be right there on campus

ready to give you a tshirt and a card with a nice credit limit.

[HEyHEY]

2. Mastercard is so good at college

It helps remind you that you went to college for years after!

[Deja Q]

5. I know... I'll be debt free in 4 years.

Assuming I still have a job... IT seemed like a real door-opener 7 years ago...

3. Enough alcohol to get a freshman girl drunk: $25

A trip to the pharmacy for penicillin: $50

A good bong for the dorm room: $30

Being in debt to Mastercard for the rest of your life:
priceless!

4. Yep, suck you in young..

indenture you to your debt.

Remember, you're free, you're free, you're free... Now work, work work to pay off your cards. After all, being an American means living in a fake properity purchased with life enslaving credit.

6. There was a time when companies wanted their workers to be in debt...

It was a form of security to discourage turnover.

If you were in debt (of any kind), you'd want to stay in a job. This seems to be called 'freedom'. :shrug:

7. You mean a time like right now?

I thought that's what you meant. ;)

8. During the 90s boom...

these days, companies let go of people so the CEOs can keep their overinflated paychecks.

Hell, I'm sure Mastercard would lay off one of their own IT employees who has one of their cards max'ed out at $35k so they could hire some jerk in some third world country $2/hr to do the same thing (and use more oil in the process, why are we fucking up their countries with a product that'll only do them harm, and quite soon if the estimated charts and graphs are accurate?)... It's not the people, it's the corporate element that ruins everything it touches, for their own gain. I hope they're not Christians...

9. I have never used a credit card, and I never will.

I'm just about halfway thru college. I'm not gonna go out and get no credit card.

10. Sadly, it's hard not to...

...if you ever want to rent a car, buy an airline ticket, or reserve a hotel room, you pretty much need a credit card. I swore I would never get one, and I now have four (but only use one). It's just too hard to travel without one.

11. i make good money, have no debt

a good start at a credit rating(on edit, i dont have any credit cards, but in order to show that i had good enough credit to finance a vehicle i got a small loan and i have been letting it sit and gonna pay the minimum for a few mot\re months and than pay it off completely) (is only 20)hopefully if things keep up the way i do, i wont have to worry about debt or credit cards, my check card from my credit union does just fine
