I hate my credit card so much because it reminds me that my husband left me to raise 5 children. When I'm desperate I have to fall back on my credit cards and then I have to lay awake night after night worried about how to pay it back. Every time the interest is added I just think how much food that would buy my children. While I sat up last night wondering whether to pay the Electricity bill or one of my credit cards, one of my relatives rang to say that my husband was off on a cruise, no doubt he loves his credit card and wouldn't be loosing any sleep on how to pay it back as he's never given myself or the children support money after 25 years of marriage, working really hard to pay off our family home and helping to run our business my husband went and lost us the house, business and my car so now I have the added stress of finding rent money so I'm starting off from scratch, so he's left me in a situation where I am totally dependent on credit so I guess you co! uld say I have a love hate relationship with my credit card and I think we're going to be together for a very long time although thats what I said about my husband. My credit cards are just for the basics of living, gone are the days when I had a credit card for life's little luxuries. Even though my credit cards have saved my bacon a few times it's also caused me to be mortally embarrassed like yesterday when I swiped it at the checkout for $7 of bread and milk and it was declined the checkout queue was so long I didn't know where to look. So until a tall dark handsome man with more credit cards than me enters my life me and my credit cards are stuck together with our love hate relationship, this includes a love triangle with the lady that rings regularly to let me know my payment is late or I'm over my limit I have to stay one step ahead of her by thinking up wild stories that the dog ate the cheque or that mums not here right now why don't you try again next year as shes! in hospital recovering from a triple kidney bypass. Anyway I have to go as I think tonights the night she rings I need to start thinking up an excuse but I think I'll just indulge in a glass of cheap red that I put on my mastercard. Take care if you have any good looking men at your end with heaps of credit cards be sure to give them my number.
Definitely a love/hate relationship with my credit card. It's always there for me when I'm in desperate need for something, whether it be the very last pair of Manolo's in store or the top-up of fuel my car urgently requires on the day before my pay-day. Most importantly I know if ever a REAL emergency arose (vet, doctor, etc) I could rely on ye faithful visa. The HATE part of our relationship is the ever-climbing interest, which is constantly neck-and-neck with the payments I make on it. The stress my credit card causes me, how it makes me wonder if I will ever be debt-free, causes me many restless nights. But like every strong relationship, I believe you do need to experience the highs and the lows to really appreciate it and learn from your experience.
i love it cause i never have to carry any cash on me and i can hide it in my bra but i also hate it cause its so easy to use and the interest is high
I'd have to start by saying that I love my credit card, but as with any kind of love, it's complicated. My main reason for having a credit card at all is the convenience of not having to carry cash around - being a bit of a geek, a credit card seemed to make sense as "the way of the future" when it comes to transactions. Why carry around these bits of plastic when you have credit and all the features that accompany it: security, value-add reward schemes and always available (important, if you've ever run out of cash with no ATM in sight). But over the years, I feel like I've been a bit of a credit card slut - if credit cards were women, I'd be an washed-out middle-aged bachelor. I've had "one night stands" where I signed up for a card purely to get the sign-up bonus and cancelled virtually the next day, I've changed cards a few times just to "upgrade" to better values and reward schemes, and with the recent Qantas Frequent Flyer changes, I found myself dumping t! he Gold card that I've been with for years, to hook up with a younger, sexier Platinum card - I feel so *dirty*. But still, I love my current card, and enjoy using it. Being on Platinum makes me feel like a million bucks - well, my credit limit isn't quite a million dollars, but you know what I mean - and I'm looking forward to a long and wonderful relationship this time around.
It is very convenient but I hate the annual fee.
I love my credit card as I do nearly all my spending on it and it helps me identify all my expenses when budgeting and preparing tax. I also accrue points and buy cards with which we get items we would otherwise have to pay cash for. Love it! Love it! Love it!
The reason why I hate my credit card as it gets me into trouble constantly. It really is a quick fix and a big let down when you receive your statement in later weeks. The interest rates are just rude. So my card never gets used unless it's an emergency. These are the reason's I hate my credit card.
I used to hate credit cards with a passion, until I realised just how to make my Credit card work for me, instead of me paying the bank heaps of interest. I love my credit card for a few reasons. Firstly having my credit card means I don't have to carry a lot of cash around. Secondly it is always there when I'm short of funds and spot a great bargain or I just have to buy something i need. My credit card also comes in handy if I want to buy something online. I make my credit card work for me by paying as much as possible off it every week as this minimises any interest payable, especially if I am really good and spend less than I am paying off. I love my credit card for the flexibility, security and availability it provides me.
i hate my credit card cos you have to pay interest back on it.
I love my credit card because it gives you the chance to do or buy things that i normally wouldn't. It gives me the chance to give someone a surprise gift which makes me really happy.
I love my credit card because I have money when I need it. I hate my Credit card because of all the fees and interest rate.
It's a love hate relationship. I love the convenience and can't let go. But i hate the bills and that its too convenient also. When i have credit the world is at my feet. But then i am prone to the dangers of greed. The possibilies of what i can buy, once i have bought them from the bill i want to hide. Having 2 kids i love the convenience of shopping online, But i hate that it's so easy to spend every saved dime. The relationship is toxic but i can't pull away, Every month i hope for a small bill to pay.
