How Many Credit Cards Do You Really Have?
A Bit of Credit Card Humor
It's nearing the end of the week and most of us could use a little humor -- credit card humor that is. Many of us joke about maxed-out cards, plastic implanted in our fingers and, of course, the “priceless” jokes. But the jokes don’t have to end there. Below we’ve got even more credit card humor.
Ask Your Cat
It can be hard for some consumers to determine if they have too many credit cards. But there are some pretty easy ways to tell if you have too many credit cards. Does your wallet weigh more than your 11-pound cat? Are you visiting the chiropractor three times a week for a “back injury” that you claimed happened when you were in high school?
Shop ‘til You Drop
Does the sales clerk at your favorite department store know not only your name, but your eye color, shoe size, and family tree? If you’ve answered “yes” to even just one of the above questions, then your credit cards have gotten the best of you.
House of Cards
We’re not stopping there. There are even more ways to tell if credit cards are ruling your life. Can you build a “house of cards” using credit cards rather than a standard deck of 52 cards? If so, then it’s probably time you reevaluate your spending habits.
Not on a First-Name Basis
Do you even know the names of each and every credit card you have? If you can’t answer “yes,” to that question, I’m reporting you to Suze Orman. And I’m not done with you yet. When you gather all your monthly credit card statements on a pile, is the pile enough to look like one of those comprehensive dictionaries on display at your local library?
