Re: What to say/do to get spendthrift relatives to cool it? I recently saw a woman featured on one of the hoarders shows talking about how she didn't have children or pets and her belongings were like her family. She had crap stacked to the ceiling, had spent her life savings on her junk, and was in danger of being evicted but couldn't bring herself to throw anything away. Ron Jeremy was a friend of hers and appeared on the show as well.
I've never had a credit card and feel like if I can't pull the money for something out of my pocket I can't afford it. |

Not entirely true. I have a Citi Rewards Visa that I have all possible bills charged to. I do all my grocery shopping, clothes, etc. & pay off the card in full each month. It affords me insurance on my purchases, extends warranties an extra year & the best part is the rewards. Each year I go on vacation, the points I've earned covers hotel stay, items I want for vacation & even airline tickets if I have a need. During the year, I use points to purchase small items like coffee makers, travel mugs & just about anything you could want.
For responsible people, rewards cards paid in full each month are freaking awesome.

Not entirely true. It is for me. I wasn't making a blanket statement and referred to what I felt I could and could not afford.
Not how I felt other people ought to handle their financial affairs. |
