Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I would only add this ~Cut It In Half~ and Iâm not saying like some magic trick!
I apologize for getting on my soap box here: But this was why the big banks needed to be âBailed-Outâ in the first place and now those of us that did pay on time have had our % rates raised to cover their looses! This comic is all to real today⊠And I donât see any humor in it at all!
no balances equals no %. simple equation.
âuse it instead of cash, not as cashâ is a hard lesson for some to learn, but i always thought it was approving mortgages for people who didnât really qualify based on income that got the banks in trouble. perhaps it was a combination of both (and/or other factors as well).
Thereâs a first mortgage on my house. Other than that if I donât have cash, I donât buy it, and that includes any vehicle. My car is a â79 and in very good condition and costs less than $50a month for full coverage. Why this life style? Because I donât have to impress anyone.
EarlWash, yyyguy, and a few others said, basically, if you donât have cash donât buy it, or at least pay off the balance each month. Thatâs all well and good. Youâre all correct. That is the best way to use credit cards.
HOWEVER ⊠not everyone is able to do that. What if youâre disabled and/or on a fixed income and need vital medicine? What if there are medical bills that insurance doesnât cover? What if your car breaks down and it MUST BE repaired because itâs your only means of getting around?
Not everyone is in this predicament because of greed or self-indulgence. Everyone got screwed ⊠even those who played by the rules.

Who cares about the intrest rate? I have a zero balance. Thanks for the lessons Mom and Dad.

Ahem, guess that makes me a plugger.
