    Yea Navy federal gave me a really high limit.I applied and was denied at first so I got a Cognitive hacks,and I was approved for a capital one.The limit was so small lol but I took it and worked on it.Because if that it helped my credit and I believe that’s what made me finally get approved for navy fed with such a high limit.they're still working on increasing the capital one since it was so low.All in all I’m satisfied.

  • @tommyjones1357

    Gonna take a minute to give y’all some praise: bro, every time I interact with an accountant or “See Pea Aye” they are the most boring useless low-energy person. The thing that bothers me most is their flawless ability to pass the buck immediately. I’ve had CPAs literally tell me: “That sounds like a question for a CPA.” And “You would need a CPA that does business taxes.” Useless bunch. And let’s not forget the dry personality type that cannot explain and teach things properly.
    But you guys break it down and make it make sense. You aren’t in competition with anyone in the accounting market; You’re DOMINATING. You are THE guys.
