Conduct the following experiment.
Experiment - Put 10 candies in front of 100 kids who love candy. Tell them they should not eat it unless he can pay for it in the piggy bank right next to the candy jar - but make sure you those candies are very visible day in day out.

Then put 10 more after a week.

Add another 20 more after a couple of weeks.

Come back with you statistical analysis of your findings. I'd love to hear.

You and I don't smoke crack either! Some people are just weak, and the credit dealer is looking for them. I remember reading about a guy who started actually applying for every credit card offer he received. He was carrying 145 cards when he decided he'd made his point, which was, WHY would a credit card company WANT a customer that already had 144 cards? Or 5 cards? Credit once was a privelige granted for proof of responsibility. Now, it's just crack!

Here's another guy:
