Picture related ... Or not?

Tjat aside anaon, just decakre bankruptcy.

But i think anon's plan will fall at the first hurdle, getting a large loan requires collateral.

meanwhile I make poor choices and do fuck all and the bank keeps offering me loans and cc limit increases until I begged them to stop twice

My wife has had bad credit for a good chunk of the time we've known eachother, and its really incredible seeing what circumstances cause the offer letters to start or stop flowing. Basically the only thing that made the offer letters stop fully was when she got a head injury and couldn't remember to do any weekly or monthly tasks and defaulted on all 3 of her credit cards. That stopped the letters for a few months until the first couple of cards were paid off in full from collections and then the credit offer letters started flowing again.

Capitalist banks and oligarchs commit fraud like everyone. The difference is that they don't get held responsible, and force others to suffer instead.

It might work that way in the first life but then when you're reborn you're gonna have really poor credit score and that sucks too in its own way.

Look up the "buy, borrow, die" strategy (spoiler: it's only possible for those who are already rich, go figure).

The problem with getting that big loan is you need an income and some money first

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

I mean, most of the time they don't really check. At worst you might get a company which wants a paystub or two to verify income but those are just PDF files that can be edited. If you're already planning on breaking some laws and contracts, nothing to stop you from breaking a few more

TBH if you have credit, proof of income, and live in such a land of opportunity that large loans are available then you're not really in a position worth ending yourself. Just go to therapy.

If you borrow from a shady or illegal lender then they WILL go after your next of kin, so list your guarantor as somebody you hate, lmao.

I couldn't enjoy myself if I knew that was going to be the end.
