Fiscal Responsibility

Smokin Gator · 09-01-2010, 04:24 PM

I am surprised I never saw this post before. It is some really good advice. I learned long ago in hobbies that I could go overboard. I have been fortunate in this hobby to not do that. I have one account that is only used for cigar purchases with a prepaid card. I only put my "play" money in that account. If there is none in there I don't buy. If there is a little I may pick up something I have been looking at. If there is a lot... Katie bar the door!!!

Guess I'm grumpy today

. Yep sage advise for some but deep down inside I feel whatever someone buys and how as well as how much they spend is nobody's damn business but their own.

I don't think anyone is trying to pry or be nosy about personal business or information. Just good advice for those, expecially the younger generations, who may have never thought about it before. I wish some had informed me about 10 years ago, and definitely some of my friends that had to resort to bankruptcy.

but just like gambling, it is prudent to not get carried away.

Truer words have never been spoken, I let credit cards control me for yrs and I got into serious trouble. I no longer have cards and deal cash only or debit card. If I can't afford to pay cash I won't get it besides I'm currently under a cigar embargo imposed by the better or other half (LOL) but trust me cards can detroy you if you aren't careful.
