The more you use your credit card, the more you spend and later you'll feel like there is NO positive side to owning a CC. Nice article there, Alan. I will bookmark this. Apparently, many people still don't use today's technology to track finances easily, which if they do, would help a lot. Indeed, credit card debt is a major problem in America.

One of the smartest things we did (besides selling our dream house at peak in 2005) was to mostly get out of the dollar at that time. That has been a key feature in helping us live large in Europe on just 23 dollars a day per person since 2006 (while adding to our nest egg while we travel the world). Everyone should read the Casey article "The Dollar in Your Wallet Is Only Worth 18 Cents" to really grasp at what is happening to their money. Not everyone can get totally out of the dollar, but it's smart to hedge and learn about currencies today. I like the huff po plan too about getting out of the big banks so as not to support the banksters running the country. .-= soultravelers3´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.soultravelers3.com/2010/01/seth-godin-lynchpin-education-travel-new-economy-digital-nomad.html" rel="nofollow">Seth Godin, Linchpin, Education & Travel</a> =-.
