Out of my mailbox come an offer for a pre-approved platinum Visa card. Now at this point in my life, the last thing I need is a credit card of any kind. As I'm getting ready to shred this gem, I noticed that the annual fee for this card was $69.

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings.

you know i thought we went to credit cards to be safer so we wouldn't get robbed, i think if i got robbed once a year it would be less then the finance charges the credit card companies make!! i will go back to cash thanks for the post
