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. With that in mind, @HashtagRoundUp recently asked people to tweet what their credit card would say to them if it could talk, using the hashtag #MyCreditCardTellsMe. And the responses were pretty hilarious.
Read on to see some of the most LOL-inducing tweets that sum up what life is like for those of us who don’t always spend responsibly.
