The Dangers of Credit Cards

2013-11-02T21:49:00.001-07:00

year and a half ago I was well on my way to obtaining a very nice credit score. I was doing so by managing several credit cards. Then I got a divorce. I put the lawyers fees on one of my credit cards, and the interest started eating me alive. I finally got it paid off after my current wife and I got our tax return in. Then we put a sectional soda on that card. And the interest started again. As time went by, we relied on our credit cards as a crutch when things were tight. Now it seems like all I ever see is credit card bills. I used the Walmart card to our gas in the van, and in my mom's car. The interest pulled up fast. Its so easy to do and you don't think about it when you're doing it. Please be careful. Debt is very real and it happens when you're not paying attention. And it can become depressing and cause tension. I'm begging everyone to be careful and don't let this happen to you. Credit cards are not a crutch. They are very dangerous.

the size of your record collection

2012-01-31T21:54:00.000-08:00

How big is everyone's record collection? Mine currently consists of approximately 1300 LP's and over 3000 45s. The most common artists in my collection are Elvis Presley and Charlie Rich. I have only been collecting for a few years and intend to grow my collection when I get some more room for them.

Players/turntables

I want this to be a discussion thread about our favorite turntables. Mine is a late sixties magnavox console. It has beautiful sound.

Mobile blogging at its worst

I just activated blogger on my droid. I guess this allows me to geek out on the spot over cool record finds.

Introduction

2012-01-15T22:20:00.000-08:00

Hi, this blog is intended to be a start of a group I'm forming for record collectors in Arkansas. If you happen to come across this blog, and know a record collector, please inform them of this group. I intend to have discussions about music, the mediums it is recorded on, and the people who made it what it is. My goal is to have a lively group that can help bring record collecting into the mainstream.
