Pose123 Hi Mirita, I think you have the right idea and those who can do so should follow suit. The credit card companies need to be put under some guidelines anyway, no one should be allowed to charge such rates. I have one credit card and use it sparingly. Hopefully...

twoey68 It's great that your getting things straightened out. It is so easy to fall into the debt hole and it's harder than Hades to dig yourself out. We've been working a little at a time to dig ourselves out too. No more credit cards for us. We have a debit card and...

kaz_man Yeah I think emergency funds sounds better. Its good to have cash in high interest savings (interest is about 4-5% percent now), you don't know when you'll need it.

Amber How is your son doing in baseball now? I see this was posted two years ago, but I am curious to how he is doing these days. I love to watch baseball, and my favorite pro player is a shortstop.
