2. I've seen that show, It's one not to miss
The credit card companies refer to the customers that pay off their bills every month at "Deadbeats."

Nice, huh?:evilgrin:

3. I saw it the first time it was aired. EVERYONE should
see it. Everyone owes it to themselves to not carry balances. Cut them up. Keep one clear one for emergencies only.

I took my own advice and am DEBT FREE.

6. Should be required viewing for high school students
In fact everyone who has a credit card should watch this.
