...not really.



So I recently discovered something amazing: BillMeLater. It's basically like having a credit card...without a credit card. You pay for whatever you bought every month until you pay it off. I found this because I was searching for a ticket to go to Georgia this month, but I was a little short on money. Hotwire had an option for BillMeLater and I set up an account.

I bought the ticket, and didn't have to pay a dime....yet. I plan to pay it off by next month, or at least by August. It's a really great option if you're trying to learn about credit and the advantages and disadvantages to having a credit card. There's so many things you have to worry about: interest rates, APR's, rewards, monthly payments, annual payments, etc. Ugh. It's really stressful, but it can come in handy at times.

Anyways, BillMeLater (so far) is a pretty handy tool when buying online. They offer such specials as "No Payments for 6 Months" or free shipping. If they don't rip me off before I pay this ticket off, I'll probably end up buying a new computer for myself or a camera.

Let's get some money first, yeah? -_-
