    Where I grew up in California, I only knew maybe 3 white kids until I graduated until I moved out of state.

    I speak Spanish at my local grocery store. I mainly speak Spanish at the hospital I work at. Almost any business will have a Spanish speaker that can help you.

    Hell, my next door neighbor only speaks Miskito

    And you posted in English, so you’re already ahead of the game.

    If you want Spanish culture, stay in southern California. The more north you go the whiter people get. But don’t miss out on experiencing other cultures!

    I just went to Guadalajara, and (while we stayed in the rich areas) it felt extremely similar to San Antonio, Texas.

    The smart way I implied using credit is literally only taking the bills you currently pay, pay credit instead and then paying them off with debit a few days later.

    If a bill or layoff would financially ruin you on credit like this, it would ruin you even faster without credit.

    If you get a decent credit card and that’s literally all you do, your credit score will go up and you can get free airline miles to use on hotels+airplanes. Or get a different card and get some% cash back instead.

    You literally get more for the same money.

    Not doing that is bad with money.
