Evil Credit Card Companies

It's all over the news, but I never thought it would happen to me. So, I noticed on my Bank of America on-line statement for November that the evil credit card company was going to TRIPLE my interest rate! (7.9% to 22.9%) It also told me I had until December 9th to opt out and close the account. Mind you, it was December 19th when I found this notice. I finally called them today and the first representative I spoke to said that I actually had until February to opt out and I didn't need to close the account as long as I don't use the card anymore. (It was shredded a long time ago). How freaking easy was that? I hate that these companies bank on un-informed consumers. My other credit card company also tripled our interest rate, but we had a 12-month promotional 3.5% that will now be 11.9%. I will never get another credit card in my life!
I keep thinking about going back to work to help us get out of debt faster. With Jacob in school full-time and working full-time and with Joseph and Shae, there just isn't any time. I am hoping to add a few more piano students and put all that money towards debt. On a happy note, our car will be paid off in just a few months!!

Joseph singing

Joseph loves the song at the beginning of the movie Wall-e. It's from "Hello, Dolly!" and I got a pretty good video of him singing along.
