According to pic, it seems like anon took out 2 huge loans!

[–] Samdell@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 21 hours ago

Second thing you do after taking a huge loan. First is two chicks at the same time.

And I still have to be alive afterwards? Pass.

take out a business loan under llc

You need to have a feasable business to do that part.

The real question is how many people would have to do this at once to bankrupt the lenders?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Wouldn't work, after this you'd love life

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago

Not life with crippling debt.

As someone who has travelled and done a lot of random things in my 40 years of life:

[–] plyth@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

Did you take out a huge loan to pay for it?

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Classic life bamboozle

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 173 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Don't do it OP, traveling and broadening your mind might make you enjoy life and then you'd not be so nonchalant about deleting yourself. You might end up on prison, where you'll suffer doubly due to your newfound love of life and freedom! Better semi-suffer in an empty existence for the rest of your life like most others.

Or like, just stay on a foreign beach with your embezzled money and a drink in your hand and never come back. Actually seems like the best option overall...

[–] M137@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not problems ending up ON prison, you just jump down the side.

As someone who games banks as best I can this would absolutely not work.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Not anymore at least

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As best you legally can…

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago

Ah, yes, let's go with that.

Share your wisdom on how you would best take out a loan before suicide

[–] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

My grandparents did this for decades with 20+ cards. Yes it's illegal to do this.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 70 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Just put your ultra capitalist hat when the time comes to repay them. Tell them its a free market and they took a risk like all for profit ventures, but its not looking good for them and better luck next time. Also nice tits bro, very milk.

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've heard of people getting their credit score up, taking out all their lines of credit, then dipping to Europe for 10 years to start a business. By the time they came back, their credit scores were fine again because it had been long enough to not affect it. Obviously planning to do this ahead of time is illegal, but if it just happens by circumstance and you're stuck in Europe and can't pay back the debt for 10 years then like…

Then like…what? You have massive debt and can never return? Or we’re pretending Europe is a different planet and you can just “start new”?

“You’ve heard of people”. No, you haven’t.

[–] paris@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

nO yOu HaVeNt sorry for not including a link that took me three seconds to google, asshole

Europe doesn't use the same credit history system as the US; so yes, it quite literally is a different planet in that sense and you quite literally can start new. This is not financial advice.

Surprisingly enough it's incredibly technically feasible.

The biggest challenge is actually maintaining good standing with the federal government because over the last 20 years or so they've been racking on more and more income taxes on foreign income, and if you live abroad as a US citizen you're still legally required to pay income tax. Then once expats started renouncing their citizenship because of the rapidly increasing cost of maintaining a citizenship they no longer needed the federal government started throwing more and more barriers up to make it harde and more time consuming to renounce your citizenship

I like how this image smugly pretends like it's above it all when lust and time wasting questions are like 2/5 pillars of the human condition.

My brother in Christ, have you heard of filing bankruptcy?

[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 days ago

I... Declare... BANKRUPTCY!!!

[–] andMoonsValue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A gaggle of chicas

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Picture related ... Or not?

Tjat aside anaon, just decakre bankruptcy.

But i think anon's plan will fall at the first hurdle, getting a large loan requires collateral.

It might work that way in the first life but then when you're reborn you're gonna have really poor credit score and that sucks too in its own way.
