Hi!

I got an increase in a credit limit for one of my credit cards, and I'm going to USE IT....NO, I am not going to SPEND it, but I know if my ratio of total limit amount to used amount is better for this card that my credit score will go up, so I am using it, right? Yay for me! Truly, I have no intention of spending it. It is on a card where I transferred a balance, and I have never used or carried the card.

A friend at work was bemoaning having to play "bad guy" to her fiance who came home this weekend talking about a "great deal" on an ATV he found out about, and he was intent on buying it, and she had to sit him down and remind him that they didn't have any money for a "new toy" for him with an upcoming wedding and honeymoon, family vacation, and he has been out of work for 6 weeks on disabilty with little money coming in from him......his response was wondering if he could get a loan..............she's so frustrated. I told her to tell him that another great deal will come along another day when they can afford it.......

I am bumming uot because I have to wait another week before I get paid.........I am teetering on the edge of dead broke right now!! I have enough gas to get to work for the rest of the week with a couple local sidetrips. I don't want to charge gas if I don't have to!!!

Well, chin up, look ahead, walk forward........................Littlesbigs

Hang in there, I get paid 15th and last of the month. Went to the bank to deposit a check at lunch and found out I would still be $100 overdrawn if rent check cleared before I transferred money over from ING which takes a couple of days. I haven't been watching the account close enough. So we're overdrawn till fiance makes some more money and the belt is tight till payday comes around again.
