Snake Debt

[Shadera]

But, I've been talking to a finance guy(a professional my friends know) and will be getting 1-2 credit cards in the near future. I'll be using these to buy a tank or two of gas per month, then paying it in full each month in order to build credit up more. Why? Because I need superb credit because I want to buy a new property with a better home because dang it, I feel at 42 years old, I deserve it.

You DO deserve it! We're trying to do something similar. We'll be looking for a beautiful piece of property next summer, and then once we save up another good chunk of cash we'll start putting some sort of house on it. Right now it's a 50/50 split between a modular, and something site built but with all the energy saving doodads. He's in his 40's, I'm almost 40, it'd be nice to not have such high utility bills for the rest of our lives.
