Basically use any credit card as you would any debit card. That means never spend any money you don’t already have in your account. And always pay the full statement balance every month on time to avoid paying interest.
That way you will get all the rewards and none of the drawbacks.
I know credit cards can be a slippery slope for some, so learn how to practice financial discipline before getting one.
That said, if you’re not paying with a credit card, you’re paying at least 2 percent too much for everything you buy except the things that can’t easily be paid for with a credit card.

Still, the things you say they don’t want to engage in a conversation about or even acknowledge are actual policies the party engages heavily in. And that’s really my question. How do they reconcile their non-religious convictions with those religious policies of the party.
Do you mean they just don’t care and vote for the party regardless because there’s one policy they like?
I asked this question because I really want to try to understand people who are different than me and hold other opinions than me. Broaden my horizon. Maybe help people question their own reasonings.
So, I asked a question on a topic I don’t understand. I hope people will answer honestly and that people who disagree will avoid persecuting that honesty.
Get back to me when you have mandatory vacation time, universal healthcare, universal college-level education, universal pre-k, family leave, modern public transportation, non-crumbling infrastructure, climate-friendly policies, etc, etc.
Well, it says what I initially said. That a regular US highschool diploma is not acceptable as a standalone document to get you accepted. You have to do extra and even AP classes won’t get you out of having to go through quota 2. And that’s really a reflection of a US highschool being an inferior education in their eyes.
En amerikansk high school-eksamen vurderes kun i kvote 2.
Nogle IB-skoler, som også er amerikansk akkrediterede, det vil sige anerkendte som amerikanske skoler, tilbyder et amerikansk High School Diploma som alternativ til en ikke fuldt gennemført IB-eksamen. Vær da særligt opmærksom på, om eksamensforløbet opfylder de krav til en amerikansk high school eksamen, som er beskrevet i Eksamenshåndbogen.
Krav om 3 AP-eksaminer
Der kræves 3 AP-eksaminer aflagt ved College Board og bestået med mindst karakteren 3, for at den amerikanske high school-eksamen kan give adgang til universitetsuddannelser. For at opfylde kravet om AP-eksaminer kræves desuden, at AP-eksaminer er aflagt inden for minimum 3 forskellige fagområder. Eksempelvis vil AP-eksamen i fagene US Government, Physics og Calculus AB være inden for 3 forskellige fagområder, mens AP-eksamen i fagene Physics, Calculus AB og Calculus BC kun dækker over 2 forskellige fagområder.
Et High School Graduation Diploma uden disse 3 studieforberedende og beståede Advanced Placement Tests giver adgang til erhvervskademi- og professionsbacheloruddannelser samt kunstneriske bacheloruddannelser. En sådan eksamen kan ved supplering blive adgangsgivende til universitetsuddannelser. Denne supplering bør ske i samråd med det uddannelsessted, hvor man ønsker optagelse, så man samtidig kan få at vide, om man opfylder eventuelle specifikke adgangskrav.
Det er som altid uddannelsesstedet, der afgør, om den enkelte kan optages.
I’ve never encountered any country that didn’t accept US diplomas, or rather treated them any different than any other non-EU diploma.
One example is Denmark where a US highschool diploma is only considered under quota 2, which means you have to have other merits than just the highschool diploma. It could be additional testing and relevant work experience.
Diplomas from most other countries are considered under quota 1, which looks at the diploma only.
There are many other countries with similar rules.
There may be some countries. But I know the Scandinavian countries will not accept US diplomas without the student passing extra testing that others don’t have to go through.
It’s possible that’s for a full program. You may be able to take individual classes or certs with a US diploma.
I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.
What are your "poor person" money life hacks?
Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?
E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.
