I owe my last year of college to the credit companys, thanks VISA! I hated doing it but I could only get 1/2 the needed money for college in student loans so my parents applied for the other half. That worked fine till my parents both got really good jobs. They decided to not get their half of the loan and just pay it out of pocket. Not a bad idea if you do it. They forgot to pay the bill all the time so it was either put thousands on the card or leave school. Well they would finally get around to paying me what the bill was, after 3 months of 21% intrest. So I was left trying to pay off everything else. Then I got one the slippery slope of spending, sort of. I used to have money in the bank so I did not have to use cards, well that all got used trying to pay the minimums till my parnets got around to their end of the deal. That all really pissed me off because when my brother left for college they set up an auto transfer, every Friday all his bills get paid and he gets extra "FUN" money. UGGG, well that is a different rant for later.
When I left college I was a total of $24k in debt, less than 2 years later I have almost 1/2 of that paid off. So that makes me happy.
