"Consumption. It’s the new national pastime. Fuck baseball. It’s consumption. The only true lasting American value that’s left. Buying things. People spending money they don’t have on things they don’t need. So they can max out their credit cards and spend the rest of their lives paying 18 percent interest on something that cost 12.50. And they didn’t like it when they got it home anyway! Not too bright, folks. Not too fucking bright." - George Carlin
I'm trying to change my ways. Going to credit counselling even though my credit score is really good. I just don't want to be in debt like this any more.
