I usually spend $20 on tennis shoes. If I feel like I need something better for our Anarchist Soccer League, I may spend $40.

I hear that credit card companies are pissed because many people have been paying down their card debts.

I'm just waiting for the day that the executives at the credit card company (First North American National bank) are thrown in the can for loan-sharking, or whatever it's called. Paying a 24% interest rate is obscene.

Don't send me advice about how to escape from this rate. I've tried all the options. They have me like a stuck pig. This iw why I tell all of my friends who are younger than 25 to avoid credit cards like they are coated with the Ebola Virus.
