Credit Cards For Us

Remember the old story about money making the world go around? Not anymore! Credit cards are a way of life now. People have no idea what to do with cash money. Dirty, hand exchanged money. Ugh! Who wants that grubby stuff? Germy, grimy, sneezed on Bad, cold-infested money. Yuck! No one wants to take it. Knowing the possible germs It has been exposed to. Measles chicken pox, mumps probably All traveled through society on the backs Of dirty, grimy, greasy, dollar bills. Credit cards are so much Crisper, cleaner. Credit cards for everyone! At least most of them are Only handled by one person. Even my 87-year-old mother Who swore she would never have a credit card, Has to have one so she can order on Amazon. She lives in a small remote town with Few stores. Money? Bah, humbug! Not for our society. Credit cards is where it’s at now!

Separate meals are often commonplace here.

I really enjoyed this reaction to money. haha. I still use "cash" for my gas at least. I do not trust who comes behind me. I hear that someone can drive up after you and be able to get your credit info and steal it! I actually use cash for simple things like restaurants and movies more than most! when the cashiers see me with my little coin purse, they must think OH MY!!!
