Just looking for input... I have a few cards that I was using for things like Amazon or whatever so I didn't use my debit card online, and long story short, I made bad decisions and they're now payments that I would rather not have. I am not specifically trying to nigger my way out of consequences of my actions, but I am more tired of being a debt slave to usury. I own a house (mortgage is active), two cars that are 100% owned, and a dozen cards with only two of them being the subject of this post. What would the potential fall out be, if I cut them up and walked away? I get the bad credit score - that game fucking sucks anyways and I am tired of playing it.. So then what? I have to pay for things in cash from now on? Any emergency money that I potentially would need at an immediate time that would be a loan that would what, be a higher APR or need collateral or something? So I can scrape for 5 years and pay them off, Dave Ramsey style, or walk away and not have great credit for 7-10 years? Also, if some world war starts, who needs credit cards anyways?
