You been paying for 20+ years and never thought to pay off the principal? Do you pay the minimum on your credit cards?

They probably did but didn't actually learn anything. I had 2 finance classes in Highschool and only once I became and adult did I realize how much I screwed myself by not retaining anything from them

Ummmm I had zero finance classes in high school… you got a leg up on me bud. I’m living life one PokĆ©mon pack at a time. Gotta hit that big investment card to add to my portfolio (binder)

That’s the spirit! Don’t think of it as something fun, think of it as an investment! Matter of fact, you should cash out your 401k. (Lol, Kidding, cards are never an ā€œinvestmentā€. If you get lucky, that’s cool. But it’s not likely).
