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. You know, that is quite appropriate considering what credit card companies end up doing to millions of people.
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

For months and months they refused to cancel the card, even though he kept complaining about it. No woner the world is such a mess when your bank wants you to be in debt to them... modern slavery alive and well?
