Credit Card Bashing

Tweet

I was just sitting here thinking about all the Christmas Shopping that must be going on at the minute. Have you started your shopping yet? The shop tills will be ringing out their own Christmas Song, but along with the ever growing queues i can't help but think about how many people will be paying for things with credit cards - They get quite a bashing at this time of year don't they? I used to do the same, pay now, think later thing.... but i don't do that anymore. After i lost my job through ill health several years ago and was left with massive credit card bills to sort out i realised just how silly i had been. Now i use a credit card only to rebuild my credit score (because i will need to change my mortgage at some point in the future no doubt and won't be able to with a bad credit history!) It makes me sad to think about the bills that get run up at this time of year, and all for no reason really! I wish i could bash those credit card companies over the head!
