The Bill is Due

We've all been there... or at least I have. You open the mail to find a surprise bill that you cannot afford to pay. Of course it shouldn't be a surprise if you paid attention to where your money was going.

Yes prior to my wonderful wife, and understanding personal finance to ignore the indoctrination of credit companies, I had debt. And a few times I couldn't pay a bill. So like millions, I used a cash advance from another credit card to pay the bill. I was paying ridiculous interest twice on the same balance. Thankfully I learned before getting in real trouble. Some people do this until the cards are all maxed. And why not? It is good enough for the U.S. Treasury.

I will focus posts on these thoughts over the coming weeks.
