I received an inactivity fee on one of my credit cards of $36. Why am I being charged $36 for doing nothing? This is criminal. I read the new Credit Card act they passed in congress to protect meek, humble folks such as myself from the corporate slimeball credit card companies does nothing for these inactivity fees. Why on Earth not? This is one of my backup cards, one of my just-in-case-of-emergency cards. Who doesn’t have one of these? A lot of people that just about never use credit cards at least has one of these backup cards, in case the car breaks down, there’s a sudden medical crisis, you just plain need some dough while you’re waiting on that paycheck to come in.
But now, I’m getting charged for having these cards. It’s insufferable. I guess that’s another card I ought to cancel.

Here’s another reason to avoid store cards (as if you needed one). So this happened to me a few months ago. I had canceled a store card from awhile ago, a really long time ago, probably at least two years ago. I had cut it up. I didn’t use that card anymore. Then, I get a bill from the store for $250.
Eh?

Sometimes, I just want to blow my brains out. Well, not literally. Hmm, not figuratively either. I guess I’m just fed up with all the bills. I can’t find a good job in my area. I keep thinking, maybe I should move, but then I remember, I can’t afford to move. And then I think, well, maybe I should go back to school, get a masters degree, get a better job, but then I remember I can’t afford my current student loans, how could I afford even more on top of that?
It’s always MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!! I hate it. Why can’t we live in a world without money? I’m so sick of worrying about it all of the time. I’m so sick of being in debt. I’m so sick of worrying about being in debt. I want a vacation from my life.
PLEASE!
