Re: Does a Lowered Card Limit Hurt my Credit Score?

Presumably everyone here pays off cards monthly. Lowering your overall available credit should only ding your score a few points. Citi lets you do online soft-pull CLIs every 6 months and in my experience increases each card by ~2k.

What did the millions of social justice warriors do before social media. Jobs? School? Raise children? edit1: More TV and movies is one thing

Glanced at the article. "Climate change" is not the only goal. Being less dependent on Russian and Saudi oil is good.

Savings glut. Rich 1st world and slow population growth. What is anyone you lend money to (bonds) going to do for a riskless return. Wouldnt be crazy to underweight bonds. That said 30 year's at 4% and at some point will be back to 1%
