Don't forget succumbing to the credit card problem. It's soooo easy to
live life large when you have 10 credit cards with a 20 thousand liimit
on each card.



One card with a 500 dollar limit here.... used for emergencies and the
occaisional on-line purchase.


I confess I have several, but one is a card which gives a discount on
gasoline - but ya have to pay it off!!! - and some others, but they get
paid off pronto.


I'll bet that P****s the companies off!



I just feel that the credit cards "trap" a person..... not only with dealing
with paying the damned things off but as a way of thinking when purchasing.
"Gee, I don't have enough money in my wallet, but wait! I have my credit
cards!!"
Thats why I have the one card... with a lower limit.




One of those nifty little life secrets I've found out is that if you
are willing to avoid spending credit money like a drunken sailor while
you are young, you will have much more money for your toys when you get
older.



Bingo.... keep money going into savings and then take the funds out when

you
need to purchase, but that is an idealism that most cannot grasp.


A pity, that.


True, that.!
