Here's a thought. Stop buying crap. I think it's a PF blog, as well. Not terribly sophisticated but succinct and to the point. You can even make it into an acronym for those quick moments you walk buy those shoes you really want (thought bubble "SBC"). We need some insurance for our financial futures and it can't happen if we undermine our lives by consuming ad nauseum. It never leads to good things. <br/><br/>Jerry<br/>www.leads4insurance.com This is a very scary trend. Here’s a thought. Stop buying crap. I think it’s a PF blog, as well.

I heart my cc–I use it for EVERYTHING, and get 5% cashback on most of my purchases. I end up getting $50 from them every other month…and I pay my balances in full every month.

And I’m not convinced that I buy more with the cc than I would with my debit card.

It’s not the credit cards that are evil–although the banks that manage them certainly have enough tricks up their sleeve that they come close–it’s that people can’t seem to understand that ‘credit limit’ does not equal ‘cash available.’
