Debit cards are horrible. I did not realize how bad it was until I went to the back today and my vovo(grandma) who is the manger sat me down and showed me the damage I did from 6/28/10 to 6/29/10.
With a card, I guess it was not apparent to me the amount I am spending, with no tangible cash, I just lost control. In the time period above I went from $878.87 to $310.85.
Spending list:
-$6.51 Play Station Network(movie rental)
-$49.24 travelling to and from Jersey City for 6hr of work
-$126.63 Barnes and Noble(I went there for 1 HK book and walked out with 1 HK raider book, 1 Uboat book, 1 HMS Renown book, and 1 membership card)
-$59.72 Best Buy(went in for a pair of headphones and walked out with NO headphone but 4 Blu Rays)
-$250.06 Amazon(went to get a book about HK 33 Pinguin, saw an interesting book about the Komet, saw another raider book, and so on...)
-$43.98 Eurosport.com (Portugal jersey shorts, to complete my Portugal uniform)
-$42.56 Applebees (I am that nice guy that if a friend asks to cover his part of the bill, I would, and I know this guy with never pay me back
)
And the list goes on...
I guess I just wanted to talk to someone who is not pissed at me for this(parents, vovo, friends in Germany and my GF) So now I can not go to Germany, Nederlands, and Sweden this summer, there goes that dream.
And I just wanted to warn you guys about the dangers of the cards.
