I'll help you buy less stuff. Just send that amount my way each month, and I promise I won't spend it!

Don't even want to think about my statement this month. I blew $900 at Fry's last week and $1,200 at IKEA yesterday. At least I'm not sleeping on the floor in an empty bedroom, anymore. Once the moving-in-and-furnishing process is over, I'm giving my credit cards a rest.

Peace,

I've got you beat by a few pennies here and there.

Then again I pay ALL my bills with my cc because:
1) I can't afford what I need or want.
2) Very very very low 3.9% APR on one of my two CitiBank cc's.
3) If I use my Alaska Airlines cc I earn 1 mile per dollar I spend, that racks up pretty quickly when you pay almost all your bills with your cc.

CC in irresponsible wallet = BAD

This is how much I spent on credit card bills:
$000.00

This month I paid all of them off...$11,000 worth :Q (Got my bonus this month)

And Decmeber...$000.00 (Hopefully...the force is strong in this one)
 

This is how much I spent in credit card bills this month: $000.00.

Visa Check Cards rule - you won't spend more than you have!

One day Ross, I will come for you. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But one day, you are going to have an intervention.

Wrong. They are more succeptible to fraud. You are not afforded the same consumer rights as a credit card.

Are you sure? Visa check card terms, including links to zero-liability coverage I'm not calling you a liar, lol, far from it... I have a visa check card myself which I use for all my online purchases, and would like to know if they honestly will not fight for you like they would a credit card. I would think they would, I think most of the money these companies make isn't off of intrest but off of the flat percentage rate they take from every purchase you make at the store.

It depends on the check card. On my BofA Gold check card I have the same protection as a credit card.

Except that the money comes from your account immediately, & even if you get it back eventually you're still out the money until you get it returned.

What happens if someone racks up $1,000 in charges the week rent is due?

I had my check card stolen once and while there wasn't $1000 charged, it was only like $100, BofA returned my money to me before any investigation had taken place.

I had my check card stolen once and while there wasn't $1000 charged, it was only like $100, BofA returned my money to me before any investigation had taken place.

I've never had to contact BofA about anything like that, but my friend who lost his wallet had 700 something dollars charged to his BofA check card. He called in to report it missing and later that same day he had his $700+ back in his account.

An accquaintance of mine who works for BofA told me that in the case of fraud/unauthorized charges on your check card, the money would be credited to your account after reporting it to them (how soon afterwards I'm not sure of). Most likely not the same way for all check cards, but BofA seems pretty good about it at least. I have a prima account/platinum card, but I would think the same level of protection is on all of their accounts/cards.

I'm not sure I see how that makes it more susceptible to fraud though.
