Thus far, the only thing that credit cards have ever done for modern society is rob us of the value of a dollar! It appears to me that much of today’s modern folk have no clue about how to properly manage their money.
We are shown from the time we’re young that to have things, one must have money. But we don’t reach for money anymore, do we? We just get a credit card and charge it! If you want good credit for buying houses or cars, you need to spend, but to spend you will need money. But, you’ve gone to the credit card because you don’t have money to spend. Are you following me? All we’ve managed to do is become bound to monetary obligations that we’ve no way to fully pay back. But we sure do tell ourselves that if we consolidate all these cards into one new one, with a lower interest rate, things will be fine, right?!
I’m not even going to speculate as to how many of us say that we will use the card during the month, but pay it off before the interest charges hit. Most never do! The card balance just begins to grow steadily, with each passing month.
Currently, our modern society is teeming with homes that are valued idiotically higher than they are actually worth… and you’ll need a bank loan… and good credit… and no outstanding credit card bills… what a farce! It’s a tangle of lies wound together into a nice neat little package, just for you and me, baby!
Gone are the days where a man was as good as his word, to be replaced with days of spend it if you got it… or even if you don’t… just charge it!
