My friend Jen from Balancing Beauty & Bedlam wrote a great post today urging anyone with any consumer debt (credit cards) to cut those babies in half! It's funny how this can be a controversial issue...people sure can get attached to their credit cards!
From her post:
When we use credit cards, it’s not personal; it ‘s free cash without immediate consequence. Using cash for everything is SO personal and real. We are holding it in our hands one minute and the next it’s gone. Visually, we see the cash leave for that small soda that we sip in two minutes and it’s painful. We work really hard for those dollars and personally, I reevaluate how I spend them when they are in my grip.
I know many of you can attest to the fact that a huge problem with using credit cards is those “little” purchases. It’s a coffee drink here, a little snack there, a quick run through the drive through, all which cost next to nothing. We receive the credit card statements at the end of the month those seemingly innocent expenses add up to hundreds of dollars.
