One time they had the gall to ask hubby what he did with his money! He didn't take too kindly to that! I am glad you have found a way to get out of debt. We did a lot of Dave Ramsey's program which had some wonderful advantages.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873081089753668041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-36274088837363272832010-08-30T09:23:23.241-05:002010-08-30T09:23:23.241-05:00I got into HUGE trouble in college, and finally pu...I got into HUGE trouble in college, and finally pulled myself out. I still have a credit card, but we pay it off every month that we actually use it.<br />You need to sign up for the Pre-screen opt out, then they won't send you all those offers in the mail anymore. And, I've been told signing up actually will bump up your score a little bit:-)Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255257812982617668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-85645161285386397172010-08-29T19:19:02.457-05:002010-08-29T19:19:02.457-05:00I got sucked into the same delirious glee in colle...I got sucked into the same delirious glee in college -- and wound up in the same massive sewer of debt and interest creating more debt. I was stalked and harassed over $20 one time, which I still don't think I really owed even though I ended up paying it because I couldn't stand living in fear anymore. I hate credit cards, too!! I read David Bach's "Smart Women Finish Rich," and am so excited that I felt empowered to look at my credit score, get on a plan, start saving my money and even started a retirement plan to prepare! It's all about feeling strong enough to fix it, and I loved his book!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-73609164061688451922010-08-29T18:47:04.361-05:002010-08-29T18:47:04.361-05:00My daughter also got herself into CC trouble after...My daughter also got herself into CC trouble after college; they make it so easy is right. You do need to have (1) credit card though for travel and emergencies, IMO.<br /><br />Glad you are now out of debt!(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-2695511326366248312010-08-29T17:26:05.801-05:002010-08-29T17:26:05.801-05:00Betsy, My husband is also a stickler about such th...Betsy, My husband is also a stickler about such things.
