Just made a deal for 4200 bucks, rip and tech shingles.

Im really good with that. The house is ranch 1000 sq.

My q is financial. I never save any money. I spend what i get paid, paycheck to paycheck. I own everything i have, no mortgage etc. Is it wise to borrow 8 grand and matress it? My credit score is 840 plus. since i **** away everything it makes sense to me. The extra would not be ****ed away, kinda a saving plan.


How could borrowing, where you have to pay interest, and putting the money
under a mattress, where it earns nothing, be wise? It;'s certainly the
reverse of saving. If you want to save, just take whatever the monthly
payment would be and put that under the mattress. Or even better, into
something that earns money.
