Credit Card: Do you have one (or more)?

Wise Ghost @WiseGhots (14603) 27 Feb 19

I know how simple and practical they are to use. Not to mention the convenience of being able to walk with no money printed in the wallet (avoiding loss or theft). But, I particularly don't like them for one reason: the...

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17594) 19 Jan 17
