Since my credit score literally said, "none" when I checked it, I just about lost all hope for credit. No credit is the same as bad credit here, and the only place that would give me a credit card was a credit union (a tad different from a bank) but it's a "secure" card- meaning, I'm borrowing against money I had to put up myself. I had to come up with $500 to open the account, and then borrow against it and pay it back in installments of at least $15 per month. One of my brothers did this, and in about 9 months or so of having this "secure" card, he was able to apply for an "unsecure", ie, NORMAL credit card, but at lower limits. You really have to want to get into debt to get a decent credit card and a decent percentage rate on it- :P "May I have some debt, please? Thank you so much, you're tops." bleh.
But yes, the unemployment...I may be headed in that direction soon myself- I absolutely DESPISE my current situation. I've already got my CV out there and have gotten some offers for interviews, but I'm dragging my feet. Trouble is, I know it'll just be another administrative job to keep me fed and out of the wind and rain until I can be a professional singer.
