Today, I received my first Black Signature card. It has no limit. Credit card companies are absolutely predators and I'm thankful that I have enough sense not to take that one too seriously!

I really feel for all the parents trying to teach their kids financial responsibility when even many colleges are into the game.

I have heard that you can't even rent a car without a credit card!

Cindy,

Who would have ever thought that you would be penalized for being a good steward of your money?

Who would have ever thought that operating on a cash basis, which is what our parents taught us, would be detrimental?
