If you struggle with your spending habits and/or credit card debt, you’re certainly not alone. Whether it’s that daily latte habit, that exotic vacation we can’t quite afford or online shopping, our credit cards bear the brunt of our less-than-perfect spending habits.

While getting your finances in order should be an issue you take seriously, sometimes, you just have to laugh at it all.
