That is really easy to say, but for people with addictive
personalities, a credit card is just like a bag of cookies
or 12-pack of beer--you cannot stop until you had it all.
Giving a person a credit card when that person cannot easily
control their spending is just like giving them a hand
gernade--you never quite know when it is going to go off.
