This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Credit cards caught on to this around 2010 or so. That’s why balance transfers always have a fee now. You could do this with either balance transfers or cash advances, both of which have fees now. So you’ll end up increasing the balance by 3% each month.
My grandparents did this for decades with 20+ cards. Yes it's illegal to do this.
