I can honestly say that I am only submitting a review 5 star rating not because I was bribed to do so. I did it because I believe everyone is right, just so I don't have to argue with anyone and make peace with one self and everyone around me!

Credit cards good and Bad

I worked hard all my life so did my father/ Railroad worker,and he taught me to always pay bills before going out and blowing it on my kids, or with friends and don't buy something u can't afford to pay for! Credit cards can be good and real bad. If you get behind on a bill use credit card to pay it off,but make sure u have money to pay credit card before you get charged interest fee's cause those are Killer fee's!! Credit cards are great for emergency's
