Stay-At-Home Moms Fight Credit Card Bias

I am probably no longer eligible to open a new credit card account even though my credit score has risen.
I have one credit card paid each month for towing charges in case I would need a tow.
After borrowing to pay off a car loan the bank convinced me to pay off previous debts and quit using credit cards. I cannot afford the interest rates charged by the card offers received.

I don't believe credit cards are really needed for credit anyway. We are trying to pay them off not get more. I definitely don't want the state to pay me, as a current stay-at-home mom. It's my choice to stay at home, my sacrifice to make...not other tax payers! We each need to be responsible for our own financial security. Don't buy what you can't afford; live within your means. Try the Dave Ramsey way! :)

This then brings up a solution, a stay at home mom should receive a form of income they stay home to raise their kids which makes them a educator, teacher, nanny, house cleaner,taxi or limo driver, soccer coach, football coach dance coach, chef, playmate, nurse, doctor,etc
I guess the state need to set and pay stay at home moms based of their duties, then they would qualify for these"new" old fashioned guidelines...

The left is delusional for sure, just open your eyes and use your brain, and that's too hard to do for libs ie. they want it their way, unreasonable, realistic or not.

Oh, I don't think those consequences were unintended at all. Chalk up another strike in the war against women - you know, that war that Republicans insist is just a "delusion of the left".
