(17,984 posts)36. Yes, but if she worked for WF they would know her monthly income
That's what I meant. Plus, she would have been pulling in more than she is currently.
I had this discussion with my wife last night. Can you imagine living without a credit card? You would have to think ahead a couple of days and withdraw enough money. I know there are ATMs everywhere, but most of them charge a fee. Whether or not someone will accept a check is iffy. This woman is working full time and taking a full load of classes. She doesn't have a spare second to drive to the bank and take out more money.
I agree with you, however, about the risks of owning a credit card. She could easily get into serious trouble. Maybe she knows this and it is the reason for her reluctance to find a company that will issue her one.
