I signed up for an American Express preferred Blue card and got approved for a limit of $25,000. I have a 830 credit score. I realized that the places I shop don’t accept that card and you have to pay for it yearly so I canceled it.
Then I decided I was going to get a Costco Visa. Once I signed up the credit limit was only $5,000. So I canceled that one. So I stupidly signed up for a Wells Fargo Visa and that was $4,000.
Don’t leave yet and please don’t make fun of me but I’m not done being stupid. I decided I wanted a different American Express card and when I signed up for it the credit limit was $2,000 so I canceled that one.
Again I know I’m fucking stupid but how bad did I just fuck up my credit?
Dawg, you can’t make a post talking about how dumb you are, include an anecdote that demonstrates how dumb you are, and then get defensive when people call you dumb lol.
Also, if you actually want productive help, you probably need a financial literacy class and a financial advisor, not a post on Lemmy.
I can call myself dumb. When someone else does it and confirms it, it fucking sucks. I’m already having a hard time convincing myself not to shoot myself in the head.
No one hates me like me. I don’t need your help.
If it makes you feel better: you’re not drowning in debt because of this, the worst permanent damage you’d cause is occasional random feelings of embarasment. I’d wanna shoot myself too when that embarasing memories pop up, but life goes on.
Honestly man, why are you even posting this? This is like airing your own dirty laundry on the street. Meanwhile, you could’ve quickly lookup how closing your credit card affects your credit score, or maybe ask somebody IRL.
