re: I have no sympathy for anyone living on credit!)))

Well, like she said, goody for you. And goody for me, because I was lucky enough to come of age in a time that offered few temptations in the way of credit.

I remember as a young teacher getting my first credit card at Sears and Roebuck (tiny credit limits), and getting a few "gas" cards.

Low limits, sensible and provident.

But who knows, as young as I was, what would I have done with the temptations offered by credit card companies such as those that had BOOTHS at university registration days, offering lots of free credit to 18-yr-olds with NO INCOME.

I see this, and I want to go all Carrie Nation and get out the baseball bats and go after these seducers of the ignorant and ineperienced.
