YOUR ALL SUCKERS!

One thing that many people get suckered into (including people who I once thought were smart) is the obsession with airline miles through credit card/financial purchases.

These credit card companies offer rewards such as airline miles as well as other prizes and gifts. They do this so that suckers like you buy things with that credit card. And everyone obsesses over these miles. They say “use this credit card, I get miles!”, causing people to spend their money freely and haphazardly, because they get miles in return.

Do you know how much these miles/prizes are worth money wise? 1%. One percent!!! You know how much one percent is? Its nothing! It’s not even worth talking about let alone obsessing about. It would cost you $50,000 dollars of credit card spending for you to earn a roundtrip airline ticket. Your wasting more money by using your credit card to buy things which you otherwise wouldn’t buy. These airline miles are an extra incentive for you to buy something, which you’re not sure about purchasing. You think to yourself that “hey your gonna get miles so what the heck” but the miles aren’t worth anything! Wake up people! The cost of rewards that you receive compared to the amount of money you had to spend to get that reward is like piss in the ocean. (piss being your measly reward and the ocean being the amount of money you gave away to get such a crappy reward, which you think is amazing).

All I’m saying is that people should stop obsessing over miles from credit card companies because its not nearly worth as much as you think, and it doesn’t deserve praise. Don’t allow these credit card companies to persuade you into using their card and to purchase more. They want you to subconsciously enjoy spending money. All these rewards are, are a psychological trick, its an illusion that makes you think that your winning by spending money on the credit card, but in reality they’re winning, and YOUR LOSING! Cause your all suckers!
