      If you’re not careful youll inspire a ‘green week’ where they offer amazing rates right before holidays, and spikes physically jut out of the card starting in tax season

    And the cycle continues. I remember when I was chasing the pay later deadline, and always failing to meet it. I just barely made it last year.

    It’s always one too many, I got this, it’s a small expense.

      I can see how it gets out of hand very quickly. I just used one of those payment methods for the first time a month ago. Told myself that it’s being paid off in full before I do this again.

    I am absolutely certain that people stacking themselves with debt won’t have any long-lasting consequences. Not even if they reach the point that they can’t pay for anything other than their debts any longer. Like, honestly, paying for your pizza and your hoodie all at once is so outdated, right?
