Do you have a Spending Problem?

Posted by Tom Wilkins on Fri 20th July 2007 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Credit NewsUS Credit Cards

Answering the following questions will help determine whether you are a compulsive spender. Or at least that’s the theory!!!

1. I have not seen my credit statement for over a year and don’t care.

2. I can barely afford the minimum payments on credit card balances - and don’t care.

3. I haven’t checked whether I can get a better credit deal elsewhere for over 2 years.

4. I have an overdraft that runs close to the limit every month.

5. I have been turned down for credit 3 times in the last year.

6. I have no pension, no savings and no assets.

7. I focus on credit card gifts and incentives, not the APR.

8. I have more than twenty credit cards with balances.

9. I have never used a budget to control my spending.

10. I run out of money regularly and have to borrow more on my overdraft.
