Questions about getting rid of all credit cards

[Guest]

Wow, I never heard of these ideas. Ann in Arkansas is a smart cookie. I’d

love to see a few of my friends use these ideas to restrain from using

credit cards!

if you can not tell yourself no, there are a few things you can do to

keep your credit card and not be able to easily use it. for one

thing, **don’t carry it with you** unless you are on that trip where

you need to rent the car. if you need a little self-control help,

take a container, put water in it about half full, place the card on

top of the water, and freeze. fill this the rest of the way with

water and freeze that. when you need the card, you will have to take

out the container and let it thaw on the counter or in the

sink. you can not use an ice pick, boil, or microwave to melt the

ice–those processes will damage the card. the trick i use is that

i have mine in a little plastic sleeve with “new house” written on it

in sharpie pen. that reminder is more than enough to keep me from

using that card unless i *really* need it, such as when the car lost

it’s serpentine belt last summer.
