1. Charge non stop with no concern over the limits.

2. Mail your payments in late.

3. Charge to keep up with the Joneses.

4. Never check your credit report.

5. Be careless with your identity.


Good post Shirley.

Don't forget my personal favorite. Get sick and require medical treatment and/or surgery. Those CAs for medical companies can be difficult.

My MIL was in a private hospital and they demanded over $250 a month or they would turn her over to collections - even when I told them it was more than a third of her monthly income!

Don't forget to turn on your "other vehicle repellent." Because if you're in a car accident--especially if it's not your fault, you'll get crapped on! That's most of my problem now...Minding my own business, trying to go see friends, and I got hit by a guy who was driving too fast on the ice...He was fine, except for some minor damage to his truck...My car was totalled, and it broke my foot, my ankle, and my leg...I bet he hasn't even thought about the accident since it happened, but I've had to deal with bills, doctors, and collections since.

Moral: Don't you dare get in an accident! :)
