Credit cards can be as addictive and destructive as hard drugs, with the same ability to create a false sense of euphoria, give you a quick fix by satisfying temporary desires. Drugs are different in one respect, though. In most cases you have to seek out the drug dealer. Credit card companies seek you out. The more you use the cards, the more new cards, with enticing offers and promises, will come your way. In fact, all you have to do now is answer the phone. Credit card companies have taken to the phone lines to call you directly to see if they can get you addicted to what they have to offer.
