tbh, money would never be an issue because you could toss things on your credit card, takes loans you'd never repay, write bad checks, overdraw your bank account, etc.

Assuming you have a credit card with a high enough limit.

Plenty of people don't use credit cards, but use debit cards with limited funds. Even with a credit card, you still can't charge things that exceed your spending limit - trying to put a yacht on your card isn't going to work if you can only charge up to $1000 or be declined. And even if you've got a card with an unlimited ceiling, there are still plenty of things in life where they won't just take your credit card as a valid form of payment.

The other problem no one ever really seems to consider is that, at some point in the movie, he DOES break out of the loop. Imagine charging hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt to your card, only to have THAT be the day the loop ends for you.

Of course, that's a threat for most of what happens in the loop. Sure, you may think you're basically invulnerable and immune to prison time or punishment for your actions, but what happens when you shoot up a mall and kill 47 people, only to have that be the day the loop stops and you wind up in prison for the rest of your life? Or what if you drop a toaster in the tub to kill yourself the way he does in the movie, only for that to be the moment the loop ends and you're dead for real?

In the movie, he only winds up doing the things he does at the end of the movie after going through literal years of existential despair, to the point where he stops caring about the potential consequences of his actions because he no longer cares whether or not he lives or dies. That's not really a positive life scenario.
