[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 2523368, member: 4319"] Cocky people who think their way is the ONLY way get my ire up. When I was 18 every adult in my life told me to start applying for credit cards to "build credit". They were SURE I would NEVER buy a house without doing that. Some were really aggressive about it "I have (20-60) years on you and I know what the hell I'm talking about. I bought a house by 19. Never had a credit card. You learn a lot with age, but not everything, and you mostly learn about your own life. I learn more about how to manage my own life every year. I haven't learned much about anyone else's. I would never butt into their life with my condescending "advice". I started this thread because strangers, friends, and family members have made it a point to take a pulpit over me on this - some have been downright insulting with no provocation or solicitation. I respond in kind. My next goal is to stop responding in kind. I need to stick to "the best revenge is living well" theory. I'll need to slowly prove people wrong year by year rather than bicker with them. Some of them are in a slow breakup as I type this. RodSnell's "consider the source" hits home. But yeah, I like it when people like AllOut say "let me get this straight, you're flawed/you behaved badly?" Of course. Have I ever claimed otherwise? I'm just a person whose intended objective discussions sometimes get muddled by life experiences and emotion, just like the people I argue with. I don't think I'm any better in that arena. [/QUOTE]
