I call bs on not having a credit score. It reads more like you have a bad credit score

That doesn't show up on my credit report because it was like 20 years ago. The lesson from that experience was that if I would have ended up paying $5,000 for a piece of shit car that was worth maybe $1,000 tops. Even if I could get better terms on a different car that ran better, I thought "why would I ever pay more for something just to get it a few months sooner?"
The next 2 vehicles I bought after that cost me $300 each and lasted about 6 months each. During that year, I saved up $1,000 for a decent car that lasted a few years. During those years, I saved a shit-ton of money by not having a car note to pay every month. That allowed me to continue in this pattern to present day. The last car I bought was $15,000 cash. I had the title in my name being sent to me the next day and I don't owe a dime on it. That's what I mean by being financially responsible. I drive MY car, not the bank's car. I live in MY house, not the bank's house or the landlord's house.
I guess this credit thing works for a lot of people. It's just not for me. I never would have taken that provider's money either if she said anything about paying interest, but she didn't and still hasn't asked for anything more than what she gave me. This is the first time in 20 years I've considered paying interest in order to meet a fincial obligation. I sure as hell don't NEED anyone's help on this, but if someone wants to make some easy money in exchange for making my life a little easier right now, then maybe we can work something out...
