<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">Exactly what I plan on doing next payday. I've been putting this superstition of credit cards up for to long.
But if you read a thread soon saying that I had to sell my PC and Xbox because of dept, then lets just say I told you so.
And yes, I' am lucky I did'nt have to visit the enchanted rain forest.

That is precisely why you should open a checking account an get a DEBIT/ATM card. It acts like a credit card because you can use it anywhere Visa/MC are accepted, but it just takes the funds out of your checking account, unlike a credit card. There is no balance to carry over, and trust me, you are not going to go ape s*^t on the spending, because it is your money, not a credit line.
Dude, you should just go thru your girl's purse while she is sleeping, grab her Visa and get hooked up on Live. Since there is no charge on it, she will be none the wiser.
Of course, if you don't remember to change the card info before the 1 year period ends, you may as well pack a week's worth of food and put a slicker on before heading into the "rainforest" and be prepared to have your picture show up on a few milk cartons, because you won't be heard from for a while.
