Credit cards can lead to a lot of debt

Spencer Jones has had a credit card since he was 18 years old.

But he hardly ever uses it.

“I’m afraid to because I don’t want to run the balance up,” said Jones, a Kentwood sophomore.

Not enough people utilize Jones’ philosophy, said Charles Walmsley, financial planner and finance and law professor.

College students often run into problems with credit card debt because they use them for everyday expenses, Walmsley said.

“The biggest mistake college students make when it comes to credit cards is living beyond their means,” he said. “They tend to spend more money than they have.”

The average college freshman carries $1,500 worth of credit card debt, according to a 2005 study by student loan company Nellie Mae, and 56 percent of undergraduates have obtained their first credit card by the age of 18.

“Credit cards are very easy to acquire for college students, making credit card debt prevalent for them,” Walmsley said. “Credit card companies will relax credit standards to take on more customers at a higher rate, like college students.”

$$$$$ NEED MONEY RIGHT NOW? $$$$$ GUARANTEED-you WILL have $7,000 in two weeks ONLY $12 TO $14 Total Cost, 1 HOUR OF WORK and NO MAILING LISTS “GIFTING CLUB” PLEASE READ TO FIND OUT HOW!

If you want to make a few thousand dollars really quickly, then please take a moment to read and understand the MLM program I am sharing with you. NO, it is Not what you think! YOU DO NOT have to spend $5 to five people to buy a report, get on their mailing list, OR buy a recipe or any other product. NOR will you need to invest more money later to get things going. This is the fastest, easiest program you will ever be able to do. Complete it in One hour and you will never forget the day you first received it in the mail or online. If you are doing other programs, by all means stay with them. The more the merrier! But Please read on.

First of all, there are only three levels, not four, five or six, like many other programs. This three level program is more realistic and much, much faster. Because it is so easy, the response rate for this program is Very high and Very fast. And you receive your reward in about fourteen days. That’s only Two weeks -not three months. Just in time for next month’s bills!!!!!!!!!!!

HERE ARE THE SIMPLE DETAILS

You mail our 20 copies (not 200 or more as in other programs) or post 20 on the internet. You should send them to people who send you their programs, because they are already believers and your program is better and faster or post them in chat forums or on message boards. Even if you are already in a program, continue to stay with it, but do yourself a favor and DO THIS ONE as well. RIGHT NOW! It is simple and takes a very small investment, not hundreds of dollars. And it will pay you before other letters even begin to trickle in!!

Just give one person $5. That’s it! That’s all! Follow the simple instructions and in two weeks you should have at least seen $7,000 because most people will respond due to the low investment, speed, and huge profit potential. We are now at a 50% response rate! That’s a $10,000 return. So let’s all keep it going and help each other in these tough times.

1. On a blank sheet of paper write your name and address clearly and fold it around a five-dollar bill. Send this to the first name on the list. Only the first person on the list gets your name and a five-dollar gift.

2. Retype the list only, removing the first (#1) name from the list. Move the other two names up and add your name to the list in the third (#3) position.

3. Paste your newly typed list neatly over the old one and make 20 copies of this letter and send to 20 prospects or post 20 on the internet on message boards or chat forums. An excellent source of names is the people who send you other programs, and the names listed on the letter that they send you. Do it right away. It’s so easy, Don’t mull it over, One hour! That’s it!

There is no more to do. When your name reaches the first position in a few days, it will be your turn to collect your gifts. The gifts will be sent to you by over 1,500 to 2,000 people like yourself who are willing to invest $5 and one hours to receive $7,000 in cash. Your entire investment will be about $5 to $14 including the $5 gift you sent the first name on the list, envelopes, copies, and stamps. That’s all! There will be a total of $7,000 dollars in your mailbox in $5 bills in two weeks. Consider that!

CAN I DO IT AGAIN?
OF COURSE, No mailing lists to buy and wait for. No further trips to the printer or copier. And now you can do it again over and over with your regular group of gifters. Why not? It beats working! Each time you receive a MLM offer in the mail, respond with This letter! Your name will climb position at a Dizzying geometric rate. I just spent two weeks in Manhattan at the Plaza seeing every show and attending every concert I wanted to and I haven’t worked in three months.

Some people may want to purchase a mailing list of opportunity seekers and send out 200 or more. That’s fine. You can if you want to. That decision is yours to make. The possibilities are great. But we are enjoying a 50% rate to this letter. Not interested? C’mon you have nothing to lose! Experimentation? One hour of your time and about $12 to $14!

ACT FAST AND GET MONEY FAST HONESTY AND INTEGRITY MAKE THIS PLAN WORK COPY THE NAMES CAREFULLY AAND ENJOY YOUR MONEY!!
