RE: Credit Cards: Bane of My Existence
Well said, Andrei Chira
I didn’t learn my lesson at all
@anarcho-andrei
Neither did I.
The wife, family & children, especially young ones pay the price of addictive stupidity.
Like alcoholics, credit junkies are repeat offenders.
Fortunately, I now do not have a single credit card or any bank debt.
Causes of card addiction:
- Ego
- Financial opacity
- Not cutting one’s coat according to the cloth available.
- Buying the snake oil of Christian offering correlated wealth fantasies.
I am working on it as best as I can now. Sadly, my 31-year-old self can't go back in time and smack the hell out of my 18-year-old self to avoid all of this headache. All I can do now is move forward.
On the point about the prosperity gospel: I whole-heartedly agree. There are few things more despicable than so-called pastors treating God like some kind of ATM, all while encouraging their followers to donate as much as they can to ensure their good fortune. It's even worse than the faith groups that blame someone for not praying enough. In these viper dens, someone's misfortune is simply because they didn't pay the pastor enough.
All the very best. @anarcho-andrei
You are trending in the right direction, sir.
