Churn credit cards = constantly open and close new credit cards for the sign up bonuses but in a careful way that doesn’t crash your credit score
So I’ve met quite a few people in tech who do this and they’re literally all hardcore neoliberals. They hate any type of welfare for new immigrants, refugees, and the unemployed. They despise unions and think it’s for lazy people. They worship companies and have snitched on coworkers to HR for doing stuff like stealing office supplies and abusing employee benefits
I’m wondering if all credit card hobbyists are like this or just the ones in tech because theoretically, there’s nothing about having good personal finance that inherently makes you have shitty politics. I guess I can see how people who do this think poor people are poor because they don’t do all this neurotic credit card min maxing shit?
I think the mentality of “look how easy it is to game the system and make money” goes hand in hand with “the reason you’re poor is because you don’t work hard enough”. It kinda makes sense that credit enthusiasts would be hardcore neoliberals or conservatives.
And a lot of “good personal finances” is about making passive income - which is inherently against the core values of many leftist.
I saw this posts an immediately ranted about credit scores without even addressing the topic lol.
