I was in tesco yesterday (a poor mans wallmart) and the old guy at the till was moaning and he was telling me how a woman bought $480 of shopping yesterday then paid with FOURTEEN different credit cards. Paying 10 bucks off this , 20 bucks off another.
Some of the blame for this must be the way companies throw credit at you, knowing that you may not be able to pay it back.
But hell................fourteen credit cards is scary
