NEVER... the average balance on ppls cc's is $8,367... Ten years ago it was $3,332... and its just getting crazier... i think this is why the dollar is dropping in the currency mkts ppl are anticipating a pop in the credit/stock market/housing bubble... and the economy really isnt picking up the gov. is just pumping it full of money, and most ppl are still unemployed and blah blah blah it... its all very reminiscent of '87 so IMO clear up your debt, save your cash, and get ready to buy/invest once this happends... CASH IS KING... maybe this may help:http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/financial-literacy/calculators/MinPayment.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASH IS KING... maybe this may help:http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/financial-literacy/calculators/MinPayment.asp Couldn't agree more, I'm absoultly crap with money so i never really had a credit card when i was younger, i have 1 now and the only time i ever use it is to get something off the net. I might not have the largest amount of cash lying around after the holidays but at least i dont have debt. Its about the only thing i'm anyway responsible with.

tommyarmani Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 All my money goes to my girlfreind. She is constantly making me buy her fancy dinners, clothing, jewelry, accessories & what she calls "funny money" but i dont find anything funny about that. But she says she really likes me, so i dont mind PS, if you want tips on how to budget in the most efficient manner, consult with someone who has OCD :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Originally posted by sweetie029 I've saved so much more $$....but it gets rough lol yea i've saved quite a bit of money too..its crazy to think how much shopaholics actually spend on clothes loli was in the mall a few weeks ago lookin at boots clinging to my bf's arm going "pleeeeeeeese i WANT those BOOTS" and him saying "I've seen your closet, 7 pairs of boots are enough" lol him and my friends are PERFECT to bring "shopping"Lately its been more of "point and say I want that"I've been good lately, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
