Student Credit Card Mistake #34: Dudity

This video is the second in a series of credit card mistake videos with a very clear point: bad credit could mean the shirt off your back.

Student Credit Card Mistake #162: The Michael Scott

Do you watch The Office? If so, then this credit mistake video is for you. When Jan lost her job at Dunder Miflin, she vowed that her new full time job would be "girlfriend." She moved into Michael's townhome and sought a life of sitting in sweats all day while waiting for Michael to get home from work. Clearly, this bored her because soon enough, she was spending Michael's money like crazy. But was she really the problem, or was it Michael's obscene purchases (like 12 magic sets) that pushed things over the limit? In the two part episode entitled "Money," Micheal gets hired and fired from a second job, declares "bankruptcy," and tries to run away from his credit card debt by hopping a stopped train. As Credit Mistake #162 points out, frivolous spending (aka pulling a Michael Scott), can get you into some serious credit card debt and is definitely a mistake worth avoiding.
