My motto is "don't buy what you can't pay for at the end of the month.."
Anyways it emerged on the other thread that Sweetcell purchased some World Series tickets assuming the Yankees would make it.. didnt happen as Yankees got swept and he has not been refunded for his purchase while the bill is now due...
Personally, I think he should pay the bill and take the credit.. that way he won't have to worry about the steep interest charges which on his credit card run 20.8% apr
:o :o :o
-
I should add that if you're paying 21% on your credit card you ought to get some credit counseling.
And a "life coach" may also help. usuallly if you're having trouble with the credit card bills its a sure sign other things will be "off"
-
go away

go away
Credit card issues don't just go away so I'm afraid that is not good advice.
I think they have to be dealt with proactively.

Holy shit Chaz.. i just took a shower and thought about your comment and I think it was directed at ME???
Dude, this board is not just any board for me.. you guys are my family
When Walkie posts a cat picture its not just a cat picture.. its deep... when RatBastard is laid up from his surgery I hurt with him.. and if Sweetcell has credit card debt , lets call them "concerns", I'm concerned with him man...

Sorry i have no issues.
The end.

If you're having credit issues, you probably can't afford a "life coach" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0771117/).

This is a really good point... I think some organizations offer such services pro bono.... but I'd have to check to find one for Sweetcell...I think my neighbour does this but its for profit...her car is stenciled with some ad about government jobs..

Hutch are you foreign? You must be otherwise why would you insert that superfluous 'u' to "neighbour"
-
He just want to steal our credit card numbers
;D

I think Hutch is Mexican, or one of them there third world Hispanic countries.

interesting.. although born in the United States I am also a foreign national so you are technically correct...
This is all I can say..

Mexico?? Lord no.. I couldn't live with that...

Sweetcell, just FYI I found out you are entitled to an annual free credit report...getting a hold of that may be a good way to start putting your financial house back in order...
-
lol, hutch do you work for one of those payday loan centers?? You are sure giving a lot of advice today. Do you charge 75 percent interest?
;D

Just trying to be helpful.. like I said you guys are my family (away from my real family that is of course..) and when Sweetcell's pockets are empty because he bought World Series tickets to see the Yankees, that he couldn't afford and now the debt collector's come a-knockin', well, my pockets feel emptier..
Its called empathy.
-
Just thought of something else I've heard: Sweetcell don't attempt to negotiate with the IRS on your own. You could end up in jail.. that guy from Survivor did.
-
Is that why they haven't done any tours lately?

She could start her financial road to recovery by cutting out the cigarettes. That's a few thousand a year, at least.

but then she'd have to find something else to whine about and be in crisis over.. the woman is a permanent basket case
Don't know if I buy that she's broke.. she was like the official spokesperson/model for some major fashion house.. usually you make good money like that.. and a sell out show at the 930 is got to give you a few garbanzos..

Its a thread for feminine dimwits to self-righteously talk about how amazing they find themselves (ie flog their dongs together forever)

It offends me that you are making fun of someone that is in bankruptcy because they did not have health insurance and had huge medical expenses.
And give it a break about making fun of her mental issues. Mental illness is a sickness as well. If she suffers from depression that does not give you the reason to make fun of her. Do you make fun of people who are missing their limbs? I have seen here twice and both times she put on a good show. If you don't like here there are plenty of other acts that you can spend your money on instead. Most won't give you a show as well as she provides or has a voice half as good as hers.

i have never used any of those mile programs but I should as I fly a lot. How many free tickets have you gotten?

FUCK CAT POWER. She came to Argentina took people's money (which was a lot in those days of a great depression down there) , including mine, and played a disgraceful show what with her nervous breakdown and all.
I'm tired of reading her bullshit. She can't make money selling out the 930 at what was it $40 a ticket? Give me a break.

i thought you were a liberal. You seem somewhere right of Hitler. Maybe you should become a tea party member.

ah I see.... I'm like Hitler now because I'm tired of Cat Power''s whiny woe is me interviews..or the fact she took my money and delivered a shit-show.
She is totally BS-ing .. I don't know why you're falling for it.
Think for a second about how much money she makes touring. Think about her work in fashion (Chanel, etc)...think about her songs being used in ads etc.
Being for universal healthcare or a liberal doesn't mean I have to like Cat Power or "feel sorry" for her. Doesn't work that way.
Get over your crush for her and think.

I really haven't kept track. I think between my wife and I, maybe five round trips to Europe and maybe four round trips to the West Coast. That's just a guess. And we're over halfway saved to three round trip tickets to Hawaii.
And we're really not big spenders or frequest fliers. Just try to put everything on credit card, fly the same airline when we can, and take advantage of other miles program partners (car rentals, etc.)

My god. This thread.

I understand how many an indie musician can be poor as a church mouse in these days of music stealing. But Cat Power? Come on. A case of spending more thjan she earns, clear and simple.
And lacking in health insurance? Why didn't she just buy some instead of all that cigarettes and booze?

Now I feel stupid for never enrolling in these programs. And I used to travel all the time for work. Oh well maybe in my next life.

Get over your crush for her and think.
If she is claiming bankruptcy perhaps she did have high medical bills? Is that possible? Do you know they deny you coverage for pre-existing conditions. It is not like she tours constantly. Do you think she keeps the entire 40 dollars from your ticket? Don't you think the club gets a nice chunk of it. And her band? And she has to rent a bus, pay for hotel rooms, airplane tickets.
You act like 40 dollars is a ton of money to pay for her. But you were probably one of the suckers to pay 100+ to see Bruce Springstein in a baseball stadium. So 40 dollars for a show in a club seems reasonable ...Especially because Bruce has never had an album half as good as the Greatest.
You guys seem to get on female performers a lot. First it was Amanda Palmer and then Cat Power. If Cat Power had a nervous breakdown when you saw here I am sure it wasn't intentional and maybe that would prevent me from seeing in the future but it's not like she came out wasted or showed up 2 hours late. Have some empathy.

Empathy is my middle name. Chan is bullshitting you.... I don't begrudge her charging whatever she wants but a show where the gross had to be 40,000$ plus merch plus I think they get a cut on alcohol. she must have made some ducats. Multiply that by an entire tour!!!!!!! Trust me that her band is all on retainer and doesn't make much..thats the way the biz works..
As far as Bruce I got a free ticket.. wouldn't have gone otherwise.
Look, you love Cat Power and think she's the greatest thing since rice-a-roni? GREAT! But if she's broke then she's just not doing a good job with her money. Moreover, why does she feel like she has to share every stupid thought that crosses her head as if people should care ? Its highly annoying.. don't you get tired of constantly hearing about her problems with the boyfriends,booze, money, etc... ??? I do.. and I really don't believe a word she says anymore.

"i got a free ticket . . . " sounds so dirty and cheap. yeahhh.

I have an equal opportunity disdain for male and female "musicians" who phone in performances and are too cheap to pay their back-up musicians. It's just that the last two high profile instances of both happen to be women. Go through my posts and you will find plenty of male musician bashing.

I am sure if bruce springstein offered fans to come on stage and play a couple of songs with the band you would not have any problem with it. Come one you are obviously sexist.

Uh amanda palmer's musicians were fans who she had play with her. they weren't professional musiciains she asked to play for free. If you weren't sexist you might actually read before judging.

I have no interest in Springsteen's music and would say exactly the same thing about him if he pulled that kind of shit.

bruce springstein
Did he actually do this? Were they musicians or just randoms plucked out of the crowd? If the former, than yeah, as rich as he is, he should be ashamed for not paying them.

They were musicians. They were playing full, high profile gigs that cost $35 to see. Big difference between that and a few randoms being pulled out of the crowd to hang out on stage for a couple minutes.
