I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE FROM MY MOM. SHE IS FINALLY QUITTING HER JOB. MOM GOT IN TO A WORLD OF HURT WITH CREDIT CARDS A FEW YEARS AGO, FILED BANKRUPTCY, THE CARDS GOT REISSUED AND SHE RAN UP A TON OF BILLS AGAIN. SHE HAD TO KEEP WORKING. SHE IS BLIND, HAS DIABETIES, IS A BREAST CANCER SURVIOR, BUT COULDN'T STOP SPENDING. LAST YEAR MY SISTER AND I GOT TOGETHER AND CONVINCED HER SHE NEEDED HELP, WE SET UP AN APPOINMENT WITH A CREDIT COUNSLIER, I HAD A FIT AT THE AMOUNT THEY CHARGED HER BUT WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD WITH IT. THEY CUT UP HER CARDS IN FRONT OF US, I THOUGHT FOR SURE MOM WOULD FAINT, NOW AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF BEING ON A BUDGET, AND NO CREDIT CARDS SHE IS ABLE TO QUIT WORK. THE LESSON CHOOSE WISELY.

OH BY THE WAY DID I TELL YOU HER AGE? SHE IS 78! AND FINALLY ABLE TO QUIT!
