Those Credit Cards Are Like Carnivores Waiting To Rip Up Your Finances
Do not let credit cards bite your freaking head off
I mean, for real now. How many credit cards do you really need? Don't you realize the damage those little plastic buddies of yours can do? Be realistic man. You need only one, maybe two or three credit cards maximum. There is no reason for you to keep saying "yes, yes, ohhhhh yes" when the companies call or write you and ask you if you want another. We know why people do this because we work in the industry. And we are here to make sure you consolidate credit cards and live your financial life right!
As a leading consumer advocacy informational website, the Credit Card Debt Carnivore is out to sink its teeth into debt, and into companies that think they can push people around by shoving credit cards down their throats.
Here are a few of the ways companies like to operate against you...
- Making you feel like they are doing you a favor. You think you are super special when you open that credit card bill and see that, despite the fact that you owe $873 this month, you can pay only $20 and defer the rest! Man, you would like to spend that other $853 on other stuff, sure, so you take them up on that! Little do you know you are digging your own grave. They just suckered you in to subjecting yourself to interest - probably at the industry-average 18.3% - on the rest of that balance.
- Relentless marketing blitzes. Call anyone enough times, write them enough letters, pressure them enough times by showing up at their door, and eventually you will catch them at a weak moment. Or they will agree to anything to see the person go away. That's how they sell you credit cards, one after the other, until your wallet doesn't even close right. The time has come to end this credit blitz and take back your life. Fortunately, we can help.
- Unrelated financial incentives. Wouldn't you like one frequent flyer mile for every buck you spend using credit cards? Heck yes! What about points that can give you free hotel rooms? Oh man, that would be so tight. One of the goals of our site, and of our credit counseling partners, is to debunk the myth that these ideas are smart. There are probably annual fees which counter the benefits, and are you really going to spend enough to make the thing worthwhile? Think about it.
