Having a lot of money makes it difficult to stop spending freely and without thought. The habit is so hard to break and being a weak person of habit, is exactly why I will not use a CC again. CC's are like closets or garages. No matter how small or large, you will fill them up. 'HubIf I knew it all, would I be here??

Mark Twain Bankruptcy (taken from wikipedia) Pretty interesting to read:
Financial troublesTwain made a substantial amount of money through his writing, but he lost a great deal through investments, mostly in new inventions and technology, particularly the Paige typesetting machine. It was a beautifully engineered mechanical marvel that amazed viewers when it worked, but was prone to breakdowns. Twain spent $300,000 (equal to $7,590,000 today[29]) on it between 1880 and 1894,[30] but before it could be perfected, it was made obsolete by the Linotype. He lost not only the bulk of his book profits but also a substantial portion of his wife's inheritance.[31]
Twain also lost money through his publishing house, which enjoyed initial success selling the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, but went broke soon after, losing money on a biography of Pope Leo XIII; fewer than two hundred copies were sold.[31]
Twain's writings and lectures, combined with the help of a new friend, enabled him to recover financially.[32] In 1893, he began a 15-year-long friendship with financier Henry Huttleston Rogers, a principal of Standard Oil. Rogers first made Twain file for bankruptcy. Then Rogers had Twain transfer the copyrights on his written works to his wife, Olivia, to prevent creditors from gaining possession of them. Finally, Rogers took absolute charge of Twain's money until all the creditors were paid.
Twain embarked on a year-long, around-the-world lecture tour in July 1895[33] to pay off his creditors in full, although he was no longer under any legal obligation to do so.[34] It would be a long, arduous journey and he was sick much of the time, mostly from a cold and a carbuncle. The itinerary took him to Hawaii, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, India, Mauritius, South Africa and England. Twain's three months in India became the centerpiece of his 712-page book Following the Equator.
In mid-1900, he was the guest of newspaper proprietor Hugh Gilzean-Reid at Dollis Hill House. Twain wrote of Dollis Hill that he had "never seen any place that was so satisfactorily situated, with its noble trees and stretch of country, and everything that went to make life delightful, and all within a biscuit's throw of the metropolis of the world."[35] He then returned to America in 1900, having earned enough to pay off his debts.Comment
