Credit Cards

It's awfully easy to be in school debt. Some people get schollies or loans and assume that they can just blow that money and not have to work at all during college or over summer.

 

here's my setup:

i have a scholarship that pays around half and my parents pay the rest.
i live off campus.
i have a job which i use to pay about half of my living expenses (rent, bills, etc.), my parents pay the rest.
i have a car, which is paid off thanks to my sister
i buy a lot of things with whatever money i have left over, and i have a decent amount of money saved which i use here and there for larger purchases.
i'll admit i am in a very privilaged situation, but i'm not begging mommy and daddy for a check every week, that is for sure.

well, we're certianly off topic now, eh?

 

No not really....I think what most of us have been saying is to just be careful, it is sooo easy to get comfortable slapping that card down to pay for everything from a happy meal at McD's to a night on the town; and with your "limited" income you just have to be wise.....wisdom trumps knowledge.

 

Get it and send it to me. I'll go get shitfaced once a month and use it to pay the tab. That way you can be sure you won't abuse it.

 

yeah, i got what you mean. i just wanted to play devil's advocate for a bit to see all the experiences and explanations. however, i still don't know if i'm gonna apply for another card, i think I may and just "keep it buried" as somebody said earlier.
