My dad added me as an extra card holder on his credit cards. I was very excited that I could purchase products now and pay for them later. I didn't realize how much money I was spending. He came over to my house recently, instantly I realized that he was frowning, and I knew by the envelope he held that it was bothering him. "Is everything on here yours," He asked pointing at our credit card statement in reference to how much money I had spent. I was embarrassed I couldn't look up and look him in the eyes. He asked again I looked up, his eyes meet mine, and I couldn't think of anything to say. The debt was all mines, and I have to find a way to be responsible and pay everything off so he will trust me again. I used the money that I saved by not paying up front and paid the bill. Now I only use the credit card when needed. I pay cash if I have it and I consider if I really need it before I use credit.
