If you want to be free brother, pay cash

That was the word from the pulpit of Rev. Bob Marshall, Birmingham, Mich. and no truer words were ever spoken. We now have a common enemy, the credit card companies. I got an insert with my Visa bill detailing all the new rules in 8 pages of fine print. Don't bother reading any of it because there's nothing in there for us. It's all legal boilerplate telling you who runs the show. Your job is to keep using your card and pay your bill on time, or else. Or else what? Cash has no enemies and I use it for every small purchase possible. I need the card for the big stuff like a new tire or week at a resort. They've got us there but don't forget, these are not your friends. To max out your spending money, not your card, look into WalletPop.com. Plenty of good ideas there. Amen.
