conflict of interest

An unfair-to-the-customer motivation that money-hungry banks have to maintain someone's having to make payments on a loan for as long as possible.

I borrowed a thousand dollars from a local credit-union so that I could pay some local tradespeople to perform much-needed repairs on my home and vehicle. But then as it turned out, these "over-booked with repair-jobs" folks were not able to get to my repairs as soon as they'd expected, and so I didn't need the loaned money nearly so soon as I'd thought I would; I realized that I'd likely be able to pay the carpenters and mechanics "on my own" just with extra-frugality-saved funds over the next few months. So I merely returned the thousand dollars to the credit union within just two or three months after I'd taken out the loan; the clerk seemed none to pleased, since they'd only made about 22 bucks extra in the deal, instead of maybe close to a hundred if I'd taken a year to pay it all back, the way they had expected me to. Guess there was a little conflict of interest there.

Oh wow that is exactly what he's do but SO ARE YOU STUPID BITCH! THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME! But Jesus Destiny getting clipped up by Candy?

Hym "No. It is not interesting is it? But, hey, by the way: Being America first and Christianity first is just being 'you' first. That's like your entire identity. What do you think Candy? You can't really say you're doing Christianity if all of the concepts mean whatever you need them to mean, moment to moment, so that whatever you do is the Christianity, right?"
