Credit Karma alerts. Got an e-mail stating that an account was added to my report, click here to verify that it's yours. I know it's probably my Costco Visa, but I click on it anywhere. Nowhere on the site does it actually call out the new account, you basically have to just look for the most recently opened one manually (and they're in alphabetical order, not sorted by open date). Thanks for nothing!

Experian: We've found your personal information on the Dark Web!!!
Me: Logs into Experian, looks at the warning.
Experian: We can't tell you what the information was or where we found it, because it's the Dark Web!!!

Not helpful.

I always rounded up...my debit card would round up my change and put it in my savings account and then do like a 25% match of it.

I don't use my debit card for anything anymore though, but I'm not rounding up ****...be less unfortunate, dadholes...

You’re lucky you added that second paragraph. I was going to call you a dumbass for using your debit card.

I couldn't even tell you the last time that I used my debit card outside of an ATM. Possibly 15+ years ago?

Nope. Credit cards = rewards/points/cash.

Yeah I never use my debit card. I have rewards credit cards (Discover and Capital one that have specific categories I use them for), but I have a credit card through my bank too that pays me 1.8% cash back on everything. I use that as my "debit card" and pay it in full every month so I get money back.

Okay, my wife financial planner texted back. She confirmed that I'm indeed an idiot and it's a good thing she's in charge of our finances. If you need me, I'll be staying in my lane.
