Crunch your cards

Having trouble in the credit crunch? It’s those credit cards!! I mean it!

It seems that living on credit is a new way of getting through life, exaserbated by the media who constantly tell you that you need more and more to be happy. Well guess what – you don’t!! You need less, and you need to ‘reconnect ‘ with people. It’s good friends and healthy relatiobnships that really fill the hole you feel.

You need to go volunteer, work at a shelter, or a soup kitchen for 3 days,to really see how lucky you are to simply have a roof over your head, and a meal every day.

The reality is, we need to begin living within our means. Playing Bingo online is a small fun activity for me, and I only play with money I am happy to lose. That’s why I like bingo, cos it’s not huge sums, 1p tickets means I can play for an hour or two, for very little.  My credit card means I can run up far more debt and not ‘feel’  it! 

So, crunch your credit cards. Pay them off and cut them up. Draw cash for what you need to pay, and put money away for a rainy day. Like this year. It’ gonna be a rainy year, and probably next year too, so we need to tighten belts and be careful.  Credit cards are for people who don’t know how to creat fulfilling lives with real people in a meaningful way.

Don’t be one of them!
