It's mental. I tried upping the limit on my credit card that I barely use from 2k to 3k and they made me jump through all these hoops and applications and I got bored halfway through, never finished it.

These r-slurs get credit cards literally thrown at them

That's weird because they just straight increase the limits on mine without me asking. I think I have a total available credit of like $150k across all my cards, at least one is $50k itself. I've never once paid interest, though.
