While maybe not as detailed and personal as the stories in here, you can read the legal results of DoD security clearance denial appeals online. http://www.dod.mil/dodgc/doha/industrial/, just look for the cases involving Guideline F or Financial Considerations.

For example, this case involves a woman spending $75,000 at a casino in a single day, among other poor financial decisions.

Wow, that is loving awesome. I had no idea these were public. Check out this guy.

quote:

Applicant’s financial delinquencies arose in 2010 and 2011 when he
elected to stop making payments on two mortgage debts because he was disappointed with the way
in which a financial downturn in the real estate market had diminished the value of his property.
Applicant had sufficient funds to make the monthly payments on the two mortgages as well as a
substantial monthly remainder. Nevertheless he stopped making mortgage payments in the hope
of qualifying for a short sale, and the property eventually went into foreclosure. His decision to
default on his two mortgages, despite having funds to satisfy them, casts doubt on his current
reliability, trustworthiness, and good judgment. Applicant did not act responsibly under the
circumstances when he elected to “walk away” from a contractual obligation he had incurred
voluntarily because he was disappointed with the outcome of his bargain. Applicant followed the
advice of professionals he had consulted and acted in his self-interest. However helpful to one’s
self-interest a good business decision may be, other matters should also be considered when one has
been granted a security clearance. Applicant had a good-faith obligation to honor his financial
commitments and contracts.

Denied a clearance for a "strategic default" - walking away from an underwater mortgage he had the means to pay. I love it.

Noticed my ecoboost engine gets about 1.8MPG better on 91 octane over 87 over a 500+ gallon sample size. Shocking because that shouldn't happen. I guess it is retarding timing on 87.

GWM: plotting out the point on the price curve where that percentage increase in cost is outweighed by the increase in gas mileage.

BWM: commuting 35 miles in an F-150.

BWM: TRUCK EQUITY

People in this thread are telling you you're an idiot because you are an idiot.

Consider the engine power on 93 octane as the baseline for your car. That is the optimum fuel for your car. You will get better performance using 93 in your car BECAUSE IT WAS loving DESIGNED FOR IT.

If your stupid loving shitbox is only designed for regular gas, you won't get anything extra from using premium.

Jesus Christ you are obtuse.

Well, people did jump all over his original comment without figuring out what car he drove. It was never stated. Turns out he was totally right but got called an idiot.

No, that's about right for land-based consumer satellite internet too.
