Credit card companies are very smart and seductive, and they know exactly what to do to get you deeper and deeper into trouble. Have you ever noticed, for example, if you’re one of the many among us who are susceptible to credit card debt, that you find that as your balance keeps creeping up and up, your “available credit” total keeps going down and down? Then, right before you have used up your total credit limit, all of a sudden, without even asking for it, you get a letter in the mails saying that because you’re such a great customer, they’re raising your credit limit by $2,000. What a great company! With financial “friends” like this, who needs enemies? Before you even know it, you’ve used up that extra $2,000 limit, and you’re in more debt than ever before. Not to worry. Those magic credit genies will extend your limit again, just in the nick of time. You are a great customer!
