All the deposits for my hostels & hotels for my trip went through on my credit card, and there was some adjustment because of the exchange rates. I paid for all the deposits out of extra income e...

Remember when I was oh so excited I found nude pumps for a fraction of the cost of a similar pair at Nine West ($40 vs. $120)? Fast forward 8 months, two shoe repairs, and one more purchase later, I&...
There’s a lot going on on my credit card right now. I nearly choked when I saw the balance inching towards $3,000. Of my gigantamous credit card balance, the bulk of it is: - I’m waiting ...
