guido is right. get a rewards credit card, ONLY if you know you will pay off the whole balance every month.
then you dont have to balance a checkbook, which I did once, but never do now.

I don't travel that often, so I don't have much use for such a credit card. "Great power comes with great responsibility", yadda yadda yadda.
I think I shall keep your cane. It unclogged my toilet real well, and it just might work for the bathtub drain, which has also been clogging up.

I laugh at people who actually "balance a checkbook" in this day and age. Some of my elders still do it and, when questioned, only have found a few pennies difference in a lifetime. Auto pay, auto deduct. Always pay off the entire balance of a credit card.
Just setting up a few trips based on the credit card miles today, in fact. Just got the visa for Brazil and diving in the Cayman Isles is now in the works. Putting packs of gum on a credit card adds up! NEVER pay a minimum. Only buy what you can afford, pay in full and you'll benefit (if you like to travel).
Now give me back my cane! It has hidden compartments! LOL!!!!

Now, then. I must confess that I've been using your glasses to balance my checkbook. The lenses on my own kept popping out. Also, I used your cane as a toilet plunger. Sorry. I'll clean it up soon, though.

I seriously must write fewer than 10 a year. Get double-sided checks (makes an imprint of the check) and a good credit card with airline miles and USE them. Take my sage words of wisdom.

(No, I have yet to see a single "Sponge Bob" episode either!) HA!
