that’s me, been trapped in that cycle since I had to pay several months’ rent with credit card during covid
aside from some dings due to high credit usage, my score is good. mainly because i have a shit load of cards i opened years ago, so my average account age is high.
I’m not a particularly responsible spender and have a shit ton of debt, but since I make the CC companies a bunch of money by paying balance transfer fees all the time, I’m profitable. So my score is high.
What a stupid world













For the doorway cover I’d go with a tarp and use some stick-on Velcro strips so it can be hung up and taken down easily
The oven will probably have to be set to its maximum temperature, and a small fan to help circulate the hot air will probably help
You should only use the oven as the heat source if it’s electric, though. Letting that much burned gas into a small space is really bad for you and possibly some kinda fire hazard. There are portable electric sauna heaters as an alternative
Keep in mind that if you have pantry items (rice, crackers, etc.) in the same room as all that heat and humidity, they’ll spoil faster
Otherwise, sounds like a fun project!
