Twenty-Five = Five Sixths

The home stretch approaches and the excitement builds in this thirty day challenge. Of course we are finding ways to free up money so that we can eliminate credit card debt. The savings at this junction are $136.44 and it appears that there is still plenty left to fix in the pantry, so it will continue beyond the thirty days. A new budget now has an extra $100 in "found money" to pay off credit card debt. It was so much easier than was first imagined.

Do you feel more empowered because you have thought of ways to eliminate waste, save money, and use credit cards wisely (or not at all)? You should! All too often people don't make a conscious effort to curbe any of their credit card activity until the beast that they have been feeding unknowingly now runs their lives. That is what the credit card industry is planning on.

Now that there is some Congressional attempts to reign in the bad practices of late fees, high interest rates, retroactive rate hikes, and the like, credit card companies are crying "Foul" and "No Fair". What were they thinking? That we would continue to allow them to rape our lives and ruin us financially, physically, emotionally and so completely that they would run out of people to take advantage of? I say that knowledge is power. The more you know, they less chance they have to take advantage of you.

Take a stand! Take action! You can do it!
