    Could your hack of taking advantage of the 15-month 0% financing be used to pay only minimum balances and keep the funds in a HYSA until the total due date? That would add more than 4% passive income to your cashback figure.

    I didn't become financially independent until I was in my mid 40s, in addition to owning a second house making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future! By participating in the financial market, I took a significant decision.

    Make sure to read the fine print because I had a belle tire credit card and it said no interest for the first 6 months but only if you pay half of the balance first. So if you buy 4 tires for $600 you’ll have to pay off the $300 to get the no apy for 6 months. It’s stupid lol

    LOLL. All the math is nice but it's not practical. You're living in a real world. No one is going to get a $33,000 discovery card limit. Most Discovery card holders are students without any credit history. Also, even if you were approved for that much money, I doubt anyone would spend that much on a Discovery card. Good on paper, but not realistic.

    • @sneakiertech
      @sneakiertech Před 9 měsíci +8

      You don’t need a 33,000 limit to put that much spend on a card over the span of a year. If you paid your balance in full with each statement, you’d only need to have a limit of 2,750 and max out that limit every month for 12 months. No one is maxing out their limit like that, but even a modest credit limit of 3-4k could achieve this quite easily.

    • @andysok06
      @andysok06 Před 9 měsíci

      The Discovery IT card are made for first-timers, students, credit history re-building, and credit history builders. Most limit they will get is $5000 with +/- $1000. The rule is to stay under the 30% or 25% card utilization ratio. let's say you use $1000/$5000. $1000 x 12 = $12,000. UNLESS you're going to keep replenishing it every time you're knees deep, which is not ideal. @@sneakiertech

      @dominiqueg1639 Před 9 měsíci

      Yeah hate to break it to you my guy but you just aren't very good at math and dont understand how a revolving line of credit works🤣. 1) You don't need a $33,000 limit to make $33,000 in eligible purchases over the course of 365 days. If you analyze that number further, you'll realize that's less than $3,000 a month. 2) Credit lines are revolving not cumulative your credit limit is the maximum that can be spent at a time not all together meaning that paying your incurred balance will bring your limit right back up to its original amount. I'm an undergraduate student and first time credit card user who routinely spends well over $2000 on a $500 credit line. I technically "max out" my credit card 4 times in a month I spend $500 pay that off which resets my spending limit so I can spend another $500 and I keep doing that making sure my balance is either completely paid off or less than 15% utilization by the statement close date and never have issues I havent paid any interest to date. I have this process automated now so I'm not even manually making the payments. Next time just say you don't understand how it's possible to spend so much on a small limit rather than attempting to mock a concept you don't even comprehend.
