Ok, so this post will be about credit cards.

I don't use them, and I don't really want to because I've seen the 'evil' side of them where people are thousands of dollars in debt. And if someone's offering you 'free money' then chances are there's a catch you didn't notice and you'll only get in trouble with it. So I don't use them, and don't intend to.

That being said, I always open my mom's junk mail credit card offers (she lets me). She rarely ever even opens them, even when they say the exciting phrase "choose from 8 great designs!" I love seeing the different kinds you could get. I'm partial to either black (my favorite color, but I've yet to see an almost all black credit card) or see through blue. But then again, there's the Silver Platinum one. Or Gold. Either color makes you instantly think that person has $$$ because they got that card. So which one is best? You can fool people into thinking you have money with the Platinum/gold card, even though you may only have a $300 limit, or you can go for a color you actually like. I think which color I would pick would depend on where I am in life. Like, say they let you get a credit card at 17 (which I think they do, as long as you have parental permission?), well then I'd get the one I'd like-- the blue one. Because I'm still in high school and don't have to portray that I have money. But when I'm a big fancy lawyer, shouldn't I have the platinum/gold one so when I take my clients out for lunches they'll be impressed? Or maybe they'll be impressed more with my individuality by having a non-standard see-through blue? See, picking out a credit card is confusing. One more reason I'm not going to get one. lol.
