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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Look up the "buy, borrow, die" strategy (spoiler: it's only possible for those who are already rich, go figure).

The problem with getting that big loan is you need an income and some money first

I mean, most of the time they don't really check. At worst you might get a company which wants a paystub or two to verify income but those are just PDF files that can be edited. If you're already planning on breaking some laws and contracts, nothing to stop you from breaking a few more

TBH if you have credit, proof of income, and live in such a land of opportunity that large loans are available then you're not really in a position worth ending yourself. Just go to therapy.

If you borrow from a shady or illegal lender then they WILL go after your next of kin, so list your guarantor as somebody you hate, lmao.

I couldn't enjoy myself if I knew that was going to be the end.
