In America they could give 18 years old 1 million $ student loans but can deny a full grown working human a 5 k credit card. AND....you can file bankruptcy on credit card debts BUT not on student loans. Yub. Only in America...

A lender actually told me a technique that helps and is considered acceptable, according to that lender. If you are married or share the expenses for a household, you should not put down your whole rent or mortgage payment. You only put down the portion you are responsible for. For example, if you are married and both of you work, you both are basically paying half. So on the application, you put down half the rent or mortgage when they ask for it since you are only responsible for half of it.

THIS is the kind of content I need. Thank you! I'm just trying to figure out credit cards and ecommerce/side income ideas at the same time, so I don't have a solid income figure to even put down! I'm working a part time and right in the middle of the struggle of trying to see if I can make it in any kind of internet passive-income venture. That's why it actually gave me a relieved breath in my lungs to hear Brian start out with "I wasn't making much money at all and was trying to figure out what to put down as my 'income' on paperwork". EXACTLY! I'm so relieved :D

I have never paid a penny in interest or any fee's. And I am proud to say that because I have high school friends who are already in credit card debt. Which I simply do not understand how people use money they know they can't pay back.

In the UK, income is considered any money that you receive on a regular basis (whether it is taxable or not). As a clear example, our student maintenance loans are considered as a source of income because it is a loan that the state gives us. In fact, when applying for my first, I put my student loan (£7,900/$10,130) as my income and got accepted.

I don't think I've ever filled out that section with correct information. I can vividly remember a time when I responsibly had two credit cards, and I applied for another one just to see if I could get more points. I wrote down that I was a fireman in a city I didn't live in, wrote down a figure that was triple my actual income, and got approved instantly. That was a few years ago. I currently use two-ish cards regularly & have maintained a score in the upper 700's. But I have no idea how many credit cards I actually have right now. Tell them whatever you want. Just be responsible and don't abuse this knowledge.

Sometimes your ability to pay a credit card doesn't equal what your income would suggest. So if you know you can pay, and fully intend to handle your account responsibly, then offering inflated income numbers in order to cross acceptance thresholds is ethically ok since your probability of default is low - Which is what the CC company is trying to determine anyway through cookie-cutter algorithms that don't always tell the whole story.

I would say, don’t put down what you can’t afford in the future. You should put down what you plan on being your income. Really it depends on how you wish to use your card. If you can afford it, you can always add household income, I wouldn’t add too much income on a card you don’t plan on spending a lot on though, but it wouldn’t hurt considering your not spending a lot on it anyway.
