You are so strong

 

[tiny dancer]

I'm still paying off my credit cards form Christmas. By the way I'm going it may be until April or May before I pay them off.

 

[dandy]

this is one reason i'm so thrilled with my new job--i'm paying mine off by spring and i'm never racking it up again. ever.

 

[Diemen]

I'm proud to say I did not touch my credit cards for U2 tickets. In fact, I haven't used my credit cards for the better part of a year.


I'm still paying them off though.

 

[anitram]

$0 balance on my

Amex
MasterCard
Visa

Maybe I'm cheap, I dunno. I never charge anything that I can't pay for in full.

 

[Diemen]

I made the mistake of moving to the bay area without a job. That killed me as far as credit card balances. If it wasn't for the 4 month job search and ensuing money crunch, I'd be debt free.

[BAW]

I didn't use credit for U2 tickets but I'm still paying down some cards I used for the Elevation tour

And I had one of Mr. BAW's card down to $0 but I pre-paid for his spectacular birthday trip in June with it

my visa *incident* was un-employment related as well. not one penny was spent on anything fun like shoes. call me foolish, but i needed to eat.

I've deleted Amazon.com off of my favorites just so I don't have that temptation there. I really should get a debit card, it would make me 100% less likely to touch any of that stuff.

yeah, same here. i can't believe i let this shit happen again. worst thing of all is i didn't even buy any U2 tickets! i should probably sit down and look at my discover bill and figure out where all that shit came from...oh wait i already did that.

i hate credit cards. and i hate that i have to live paycheck to paycheck so i can't afford to pay this shit down more.

Debit cards are much worse...

I have uttered those exact words in the past. Didn't work for me either.

 

[Laura M]

Debit cards are much worse...

How?

I don't have a credit card, I don't think I'd ever sign up for one either.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I just booked my flight to Philly in May. I booked my flight to San Jose on the same card a couple of weeks ago (I only have one credit card).

My card is going to be taking a very long breather...

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i bought some more shit with my cards tonight. this will have to be it for a while. i need to save up for louisville.

 

[EPandAmerica]

You'd think I would have been more prepared for this tour, knowing it would be here, but after getting Elevation paid off then they stayed that way for a while, but then Ebay got in the way, paid that off, then it was Christmas.

I've worked at a bank for over 20 years and I've seen first hand what trouble credit cards can cause, but I still don't follow my own advice and spend more than I make most of the time.

I think I will be doing my taxes tomorrow, I will need the refund to pay for plane tickets and hotel rooms.
