[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here - I don't really have a problem.  I was just answering a question.  I don't honestly give a rat's ass if I spend a couple hundred a year on credit card interest.  That amounts to about the same amount I spend on internet plus cable plus landline plus iphone in a single month.  I was just saying that I prefer to have a little cash stashed away in case of a layoff, and paying off my card right now would threaten that.  (it'll be paid off in a few months anyway.  On there right now: airfare and hotel from my xmas trip, an unexpected $700 car repair, some house-related expenses, plus this month's bar and restaurant bills because I won't use my debit card if it'll be out of my sight and I don't like carrying large amounts of cash around.)[/quote]

NP here.  That sort of makes sense, I guess, pp, but why can't you have a little bit of savings AND pay off your credit card?  I'm sure over the course of a couple of months it could be done if you tightened your belt a little bit.  There's no sense in throwing away hundreds of dollars if you don't have to.[/quote]
