Snowshoe,

I can attest to first-hand viewing (many times) people buying groceries on their credit cards, and I'm not talking about people trying to increase their mileage on some airline affiliated credit card...

The problem is much more pervasive than one might reasonably expect. While we all tend to leap to the (erroneous) conclusion that it's the folks at the bottom end of the economic scale that do stuff like this (charging necessities to a credit card), in reality it's actually folks that we tend to think of as being better off (financially speaking)...

The piper will have to be paid some day I fear...
