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
