I like the part of flying around the world for free. I gotta start churning. I just have to lay low for a little bit!

At the rate it's going now, air fare is going to be crazy expensive just like it was in the 20's. it's retarded. As long as gas is going up, air fare is tagging right behind it. It's insane.

Some people I know wrote that they make 30,000 a year, and still got accepted with a 18,000 Credit limit. I honestly don't know how they work. just say you make 50,000 and rent like ash said.

what you answer about rent or own makes little diff they go by what they could verify which is credit history and credit score anythng you can make up a story about they realize that and do not base their decision on it.

It's a good idea to say "live with relatives" (if you do) since they want to see how much expense you have versus income. If you dont have to pay for your home, your income is worth more. When I lived at home I would always tell them I live with relative and they seemed very happy with that, and I got a very nice credit limit. I also had excellent credit. So you have to factor both things in.

You don't have good credit anymore?
