Credit Cards… the difference between men and women
Thursday, March 29th, 2007Men and women differ by the ways in which they handle their credit card bill once it reaches their mailbox. Men, grab it out of the box, make sure their name is on it, pay it, and forget about it. No fuss, no muss! Just pray for these poor souls that there is enough money in their bank to cover it, as they won’t bother to check. This fact should further illuminate the harsh words, “give him the chair!” that may be heard as he is standing before a bankruptcy judge some several years later…
Women on the other hand, are usually more organized. In fact, they can usually see the eventual pending doom heading their way. At the same time however, they can also see that with careful manipulation they can pay off their credit with even more credit. Early on in this process, credit seems to be never-ending. They figure just one more purchase and then I will at last have the best travel-size cappuccino-maker/nose-hair-trimmer of all my friends. But what they do not count on is every other woman is thinking the very same thing.
There will always be just that one more juice blender… one more diamond bracelet and never enough QVC sale items for any given 24 hour period. That is until… Ka-boom! They are impatiently waiting in line at the bankruptcy hearings with their other poor male counterparts, wondering just how long it will be until they can get their hands on yet another credit card. But worry not my friends because it is Three Strikes Your Out in good old America! God bless us each and every one…
