The Credit Trap

The Credit Trap

This offer in the pic came in my mail today. Last week it was the offer of $10,000 from another company.

It’s all about gratifying yourself NOW and paying (if you can) later. The problem is that you will pay SOOOOO much more than you borrowed for that self gratification, or that need you had that you couldn’t wait to have satisfied.

I’ve been in the debt mill several times and it’s a scary place. It is so very hard to extricate yourself from the burden of debt. It can take many years to pay for those few moments of madness……

At my age it is not feasible to go back there. I cannot afford to! So, I am learning to live within my means, finally!

No matter how tempting it is, or how easy it looks, DON’T do it! I did and I am SORRY.

I’ve paid well for my mistake. It took me a long time and a few hazardous skirmishes to “get” it.

But I got it!
