I always pay my monthly balance so my complaints about the credit card industry have nothing to do with my personal financial situation. Still I find the practices of the industry today aimed at fleecing the masses to the greatest extent possible to be nothing less than outrageous. Credit in moderation is a good thing, but we have gone way beyond that today. I especially resent the constant flow of unrequested checks. I have never and will never use them, but have little doubt they have sucked in many over their heads at loan shark type interest rates.
