Block 78

Credit

If you can't tell,
this is an 
"artistic" rendering
of a famous
credit card company's
logo.

Now,
I am not blessed
by a credit card.
I am blessed
to have been able
to pay off
all of my bills
in full.

When we applied
for a loan 
to remodel 
the bedroom,
the woman was
shocked when she saw
my credit score.
She said that
she rarely sees
scores as high as mine.
So,
I guess it has paid off
to pay off
my purchases on time,
if not early.

I do not like
to have bills hanging
over my head.
Since we have been here
I have had to pay for:
  1. lens implants
  2. waterproofing the basement
  3. new bath tub surround and 
  4. three different window groupings.

I am hoping
that when I get 
 the waterproofing 
and the last set of windowss
paid off
that I will finally 
be able to save
for that infamous
rainy day.

Dear Lord,
Thank you for placing me in a family that did not spend money lavishly. We were buy what you need and pay for it. Very seldom can I remember my parents buying something on cdredit. If it was, it would have been a car or a major househols appliance. Of course, then they had lay-a-way that helped with budgeting money. I'm glad to see K-mart starting that again. It is SO NICE not to have to pay interest on a purchase . . . specially with some of the exhorbitant rates that are charged now.

Amen

I remember when I bought a SUV several years ago - the salesman told me I had 'saintly' credit. I have two cards and have not used them in almost two yrs. I can't wait until the day comes they are paid off.

Good for you to have been taught by loving parents how to use credit!

Smiles - Denise
