How sad.
I'd love a new sofa and loveseat, but I can't afford it right now - so I live with the old stuff.
And that's OK - I'm not rich and I'm not embaressed by that - I work hard and scrimp and save, and that's OK.
I grew up poor and frugal and feel rather fortunate to have done so.
It sure make a garbage economy more tolerable.
Never be embaressed!...My fiance and I own everything we have...I have a pre-paid credit card I put CASH on for on-line purchases and the exact amount also...total cost is 3 dollars per loading of the card and done. I constantly get credit card offers for 5000.00 and more at the “introductory” great rate....We have old furniture and “mason jars buried” as the old saying goes...we are not rich but do not go without....a fool and their money are soon parted.No sympathy here ...credit worthiness is a joke...cash will always be king.
