Woo hoo! Another one in the debt free club.

One of the finiancial guys once said - Credit in America is normal. Be weird!

The sad thing is that many people cannot afford a decent living without the debt system. Getting ahead in our society involves mostly getting so grossly in debt that you're tied to it for decades. Student loans are especially bad I think. Just having to go that in debt to qualify yourself as competent in the work force... glad my parents give me a hand with that stuff.

I've seen some of these commercials recently where purchases are going smoothly with debit cards and such, until some fuddy-duddy wet blanket shows up and trys to pay with cash to a chorus of dirty looks. Gee...what message do you supppose are they trying to send? :hmm:

I try to keep the plastic's apperances as rare as possible these days.
