>>509508376think about the history of credit-kike BS, it's probably rooted in getting women to buy shit they don't need, immediately. back in the day when Sears and Kmart were fuggin HUGE in america, they offered "lay away" so that housewives could buy stuff basically on debt and pay it back. this was based on trust. that somehow morphed into credit cards, which are pushed the hardest at department stores like Macys.
like i said, a true /pol/CHAD either already made enough to live off grid, or is on the way to doing that, and has rejected this debt-based gynocracy plague that has engulfed the West. if you do get into debt, it gets worse and worse, even if it's "good debt" like a student loan (also totally unnecessary BS).
the term "financial treadmill" has been used here and there but is not that widely known. basically you get on that and you feel the need to make more and more, and use leverage to get rich faster. the whole concept of going to college to earn a higher wage is one example. many still getting laid off or struggling to find work despite having that 4 yr degree or masters.
