And poor money management....
and being broke....:disappointed:
Payday came and went and I paid the bills and bought some groceries and all that stuff so it's not like my family is going hungry. Pulled into a gas station with no money but about 75 bucks in credit on Discover, tell the guy to fill it up all is well with my wife's van. My cars edging on empty so I go online to see how much i have available on that card. $-12. NEGATIVE?!?! Seems when I say fill it up the gas guy puts in the card and punches in $60 to make sure I have enough (Yeah Ford windstars have two gas tanks now
) ended up being $22.50. Today they posted the 22.50 to my account but that $60 is still hanging on there combine that with a couple purchases over the weekend and instead of $11 to spend on getting me gas I have $-12 to die on the side of the road in.
MOTHER FUCKING GAS STATIONS!!!!!! Oh well I guess I'll walk. and I guess I'll get paid sometime between tomorrow and Monday.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only poor pathetic loser on this board.

Yeah, he should have said FU to "Asshole Gasstations" and not to "Credit Cards". Credit Cards should not be given to people not deserving of credit.

Credit cards are the epitomy (sp) of evil.
They should all be melted.

Credit cards are the epitome of convience, but that is because I know how to use them and not listen to my whimsical desires.

Well for the most part at this point in my life my credit card is used for expences that come after I pay my rent and all that crap and in the second half of the month. Then I put a chunk of change payment back on it in the beginning of the month when I get paid again to make up for my expences. It just sucks not getting paid a lot really. and the gas station for their practices in credit card payment I just know to ask specifically for 20 dollars worth instead of asking them to fill it. that way I won't get in this bind.

How about creating a budget to live on? It's harder to do than to depend on credit cards (I know from experience...I've done both), but it's worth it in the end.

Is owing a grand total of 12k on three different cards considered listening to my whimsical desires? :o

If it is, then I've got you beat in the whimsical desires department. But I'm still digging out of the hole I dug myself into years ago. The bright side is, my credit is excellent!
