Cut up all credit cards, close all lines of credit, no checks, and live cash only. That way
you don't get more in the hole. I consoladated
decades ago and then started charging again, too,
and I am not BP. Despite feeling I could not live without credit I had to be realistic that I had proven I could not handle it. It still hurts to throw the credit card offers in the shredder. I don't even have an ATM card. I am too smart, give
me something like a check or ATM and I will find a way to extend myself.james
