Ah yes, another entitled DCUMer who thinks that they are middle class on their $300K income. You are pretty out-of-touch with reality. The median HHI in the DMV region is around $85-92K which is significantly higher than the national median HHI which is closer to $60K. With the cost of rentals and mortgages in the area, there are MANY who are living very close to paycheck to paycheck. For them, having $300 in savings is closer to normal than $3K. |

| When I want to pay something off...I just started this BTW...I pay off the amount I want to get it down each month plus the interest. So if I want to see the balance decrease by $500 per month I pay $500, plus the $30 ot $40 worth of interest making my payment $540. That way I know what month I will be done paying the loan off. Each month the interest goes down just a little. |

I have $108 until next Friday and I am pretty happy about it. Maybe the OP NEEDED to use a credit card for a new appliance when the old one decided to kick the bucket. I had to use my credit card for years to pay for my health insurance b/c my job didn't offer it. - a teacher

But summer camp is not an "unexpected expense". Try and put some money away every month starting now to help pay for it. |

You do know that some people don't have anything to put away at the end of the month, right?

My tooth broke and I needed a new crown. I also broke my wrist and had to put all those expenses on a credit card.
Also, my car needed new brake pads and later new tires. |
