Just got myself 3 credit cards and a virtual credit card account. That increases the possibility of me being robbed of my money unawares to four times higher than before. Not that there’s much from me to rob of. But that’s the thing with credit cards – it can be used without having any money in your account. So nowadays my sleep is restless, fearing the day I woke up to find that I’m in a waist-deep shit of a debt on things I didn’t spend on.
Credit cards somehow reminiscence me on my childhood, or more specifically, on a certain peace-loving-lovey-dovey-goody-two-shoe purple dinosaur. Its like one of those things that he often use — you can’t see it, but you can use it. But this is where the similarity ends. Cause unlike those poor kids who need to act so hard to pretend that they were enjoying those things they can’t see, you really truly enjoy using the money you don’t see.
Another big difference is, being a kid-no-more, you’re responsible to ask: Hey, do you REALLY have it?
Fei’s word-of-the-day:
Credit card = something that was inspired by the big bosses of shopping business to trick you into spending money you don’t have on things you don’t need.
