When you have kids your costs skyrocket, especially with a nanny and then if you put them in private school at $25K a year.
Credit cards were mostly for buying dolls, doing activities with her and.toys. She probably had every Build a Bear, Barbie and American Girl doll. We had season tickets for every amusement park. Then the years I didn't work the credit card balance was much higher, even though I wore clothes that were 10 years old.
So to escape when things were really bad with the husband I started going to Florida often with the justification that it was cheaper than getting my own place, which was true, but still, it was out of my budget.
So I set aside $500 a month to pay off the credit card debt 3-4 years ago and stopped going to Florida. Any other trips I went on were financed by eBay sales.
It's like a huge set of bricks off my back.

Better to pay everything with cash, than have a credit card.

My husband spoiled her 10x more than I did. She basically lived like a Kardashian as a teenager.
Well, we helped "invigorate" the economy, lol.

It's the people who can't live within their means that are ruining society. Giving them a break just makes things worse.
It's called enabling.
Democrats are so bad for our country. I don't understand why everyone doesn't realize it.

I would prefer the interest rates be lower.
I just paid off 19 years of credit card debt!!! Now to cut my ideas of spending down so I donโt rack it up again.

But it is what it is. I just have to be careful not to overspend again.

I'm beginning to think how much credit even matters with how much the cost of everything is going up. What exactly is the point? to have credit for what? buy a house that takes 30 years to pay off lmao that you have to pay a tax on every year because you "own" it lmao. All while they increase their interests rates at will. It's all a scam.
