I stuck them in my desk drawer and told them to think about what they did. Between online screw ups and the bank not cooperating, I have paid around $500 in late fees/fines in the past 2 months. Soooooo over it. It's my worst nightmare in Economics class come true. Glad you finally got your car, girl. Good luck with everything! :-) I just got rid of my credit cards!

And I'm a little surprised he hasn't thought of that yet. It is the desire to have things you don't need, because the T.V. says you need it, or the neighbors already have one and boy, is it shiny and it smells so new...that gets we (us?) Americans in trouble. So, fear not the plastic rectangle you have applied for. If you ever have the need to use it, pay it off in the same timely manner you do your other bills -SPOILER ALERT- online credit card payments sometimes seem to take several days to post, so give yourself some leeway- and nobody gets hurt. However, if your payments are ever late I will remind you of the S. King short story "Quitters Inc". I'm just sayin'. Only Stephen King can make a piece of plastic evil.

Our solution was to get a "check card", which goes to the checking account - that crazy "real money" concept - but is usually accepted as a credit card, but most of the time I can't "tell them" it's a check card, I sorta have to not bring it up, because if I do, they get wiggy about. You're to be commended, though. Abby and I double-barreled our plastic five years ago, and we've never regretted it. We also don’t have any plastic, and have encountered the same problems.

Credit cards are very evil (if only I figured that out in my 20's). I have never had a problem renting a car from Hertz with my debit card. Good for you!
