The Importance of Having a Good Credit Rating
Linus had a really funny conversation with um with pluff we were discussing just like you know credit card usage and um, you know frugal frugal lifestyle. He was talking about how someone was like complaining about how out of touch I am because I'm always saying don't buy cheap garbage Buy used good stuff because it costs the same and it lasts longer and performs better he says. Linus: "If you think it's out of touch you're actually stupid"
