True facts.
And I'm sure Matt would agree with me on this too: it DOES NOT matter how much money you make, you'll still wind up with credit card debt if you have one. That's just the way it goes. The more you make, the more you spend. That's so cliche, but its so true.
I'm in debt, big time, lol. I've made 5 payments on a $36,000 truck, lol. Got 57 more to go. I've made 2 payments on that new race car. Got about 26 more to go, lol. I'm actually still paying on that 383 I had built for my other car back in the spring, lol. That $4875 all went on a credit card (Plus $400 for rocker arms, plus $250 for lifters, plus $100 for gaskets, etc. etc. etc. it adds up!). I think I owe like $1000 on it right now. Sometime before next spring, I'm going to buy a new car trailer. That's goign to cost me anywhere between about $2200 to $6000. Just depends on what I get.
Anyways, like Matt said, its real easy to pile up a big credit card bill. Real easy. But, the reality of it all is unless you have a rich daddy, thats just the way you have to do things. A working man/woman has to go in debt to ever have anything. I mean there's no way I could have bought that new truck or that race car and paid cash for it! No way.
You just got to know your limit and you have to be responsible enough to know when you just can't get something even though you technically could with a credit card.
