Hard money

From CaseyPedia

This - to IAFF newbies - can be a surprisingly difficult term to understand. Put simply - in KC's world - hard money is not literally money that is physically hard but money that is hard to pay back - usually because the interest rates are exorbitant and of course because he is lender ignore mode. Most sensible people equate borrowing hard money as dealing with loan sharks - something best avoided if you want to end your life in bed at 70+ with both knee caps intact. KC seems to relish however getting into bed with these people - even to the extent of trying to maintain their respect. KC's other reason for hard money of course is that it is usually not factored into credit reports or FICO scores.
