We Ain’t in the Money

Nice, huh? The banks are raising credit card interest rates. Sometimes, they’re even letting people know that they’re doing it. Of course, they’re doing that by letters that look very much like the kinds of junk mail most of us either throw away or compost. What, you don’t compost junk mail? It’s easy to do. All you do is either shred it in a paper shredder or, just tear it into little pieces. Tiny, little pieces that, as you are tearing them, making the small pieces of paper smaller and smaller and….
Eh-hem, where was I? Oh, yeah, compost. Good addition to the compost heap, and free to boot. Any psychological satisfaction derived by the preparation of the material is secondary. Really. I do it for the compost. Think of the worms and the pretty flowers.
I guess it’s a sign of the times that I keep hearing more and more advertisements for companies that promise debt consolidation as a way to save everything. I think that is probably a false sense of security. Unless you get rid of the temptation to add to the debt, no consolidation is going to be enough.
So, until things are calmer…make like a shredder and compost. It’s the one way to ensure that the only thing you’re adding to, is the fertility of your soil.
