Sucked in again
April 24, 2006
Yup, I got sucked in again. I had been doing so good. I had all of my credit card debt paid off and hadn’t opened a new card in what seemed like ages. But then, in a moment of shoe-shopping-induced weakness (feel free to read any of my posts on the High Heel Blog) I was asked if I wanted to open up a Nordstrom VISA account. And, I would be sent a $20 gift certificate. Seemed cost effective, right? Spend $100, get $20–good deal, right? Plus future points and incentives…who could resist?
Perhaps the best part was when the sales associate handed me the card and told me that I had no credit limit. “Your credit is so good that you have no limit” is what I think she said. I immediately called my mom. “Mom, Nordstroms seems to think that I can impose a limit upon myself. Nordstroms is sorely mistaken,” I told her.
Here’s the thing–I’m good about credit card debt. I tend to pay my balances and keep it all in check. But I also know that one or two bad months (or a really hellacious couple of weeks) could knock me way off track. My sister told me to cut it up…
But of course I haven’t. I just mind find some shoes that I like.
