Top Episodes Quotes
- “If you're someone who every month is able to pay it off, and that's fine, I would say go ahead and use the credit card. And I've heard that argument, too, that stats say that when you use a credit card, you're likely to spend 50% more or another amount. And I can see that as being true. And ive got a couple of ways to combat that.“ by Aaron Nanini
