Most Americans are addicted to plastic, and a lot of them are in deep trouble. It is time to revert to the times before the greedy credit card companies controlled our lives. Russia and a lot of other countries are having bad times just as we are but the difference in Russia is well over 90% of purchases are cash transactions and not charged. C'mon do you really NEED that big plasma screen? Just think of the money you will save by just purchasing things that you REALLY NEED. A big side benefit would be no interest payments which really adds up over a year. Like The Brass Monkey Blog I mostly agree with CMT.
