I was told that if you want to raise your credit score you shouldn't pay it in full, but rather keep a balance on the card and pay it regularly. Is this true?

the key is to keep some balance on your monthly statements, so you have a history of paying your bills IIRC

and it shouldn't matter if its a long-standing balance or a new one every month as long as you have a meaningful monthly balance that has to be paid(and you do indeed pay some portion of that balance)

Why have a credit card at all? Can't you just use a debit card?

She's right though. McDonald's workers don't even deserve minimum wage. They're always so terrible at their jobs.


I think you switch cause and effect. If wages are so low, you can't expect people to do more than the bare minimum. It's McDonald's fault, anyway. They should set a standard for quality and reward/punish accordingly, but they're probably okey with terrible service if it means more money in their pockets.

How is this a bomb? It's already made $90M more than production budget after 3 weeks. This film will end up making over $400M.

Movies generally need to make at least twice the budget to be considered a success

Considered a success by whom? Who's coming up with these arbitrary thresholds?

I just can't see how a 90M profit isn't a success. I mean, I guess if the standard is to raise your expectations as double the production cost... But to me that's silly.


It's risk vs reward. I don't know what the failure rate is for movies, but I can understand that 90m profit on an investment of 200m wouldn't be that awesome.

I think anyone who whines about the dating game is just ignoring the fact they lack any character or personality.

I'm not an expert on this or anything, but I don't know what kind of women you are expecting to attract with that profile.

I can definitely understand you guys. I think putting a seatbelt on feels weird, so I just drive without one.
