This week at Money Health Central we talked about taking charge of our financial lives by breaking the habit of using credit cards.
Monday: Cathy Moran told us buying with plastic is easy, but paying off debt created by credit card consumption isn’t. She gave us five steps to break the credit habit before it breaks you.
Tuesday: Continuing the discussion, Doug Jacobs says the toughest part of living within one’s means is ending the credit habit. He gives us his five tips for getting out of the habit of “just charging it”, which will do wonders for your budget at the end of the month.
Wednesday: Jay Fleischman tells us how a credit junkie broke the credit addiction and challenges you to break your credit habit, too.
Thursday: Responding to this week’s posts, Kurt O’Keefe says credit cards are not the problem, they are neither good nor bad, the user is the problem. He urges you to examine your own personality. Will you succumb to cultural pressure and the urge for instant gratification. Will you have the self-discipline to use credit wisely.
Friday: In light of the soaring gasoline prices, Cathy Moran ends the week by busting some gas saving myths. Driving less and driving better are tried and true gas savers.
