Other major life update: CREDIT CARD

[afuna]

Yay, I just got my first credit card!

Delivery man came by the office to drop it off; I have been bouncing happily since yesterday. There's a bunch of stuff online I'd like to buy or pay for, but which I have never been able to do so, because I don't have the means to get my money from point A (my wallet) to point B (the seller's wallet).

And now I can.

I'm trying to figure out how to budget so that I don't get hit by sticker shock when the bills come in, but it feels great to have some measure of ability to buy stuff online :-)

Buying stuff from, say, Amazon just got so much easer. And then there's all my other current obsessions hobbies.

I have already gotten recommendations to try yarn.com -- and offers from friends to act as intermediaries for shipping from knitpicks.com. I'm trying to be disciplined and shall work off my current stash first.

I have twelve balls of bamboo-wool blend, plus the four balls of cashmere PLUS the merino wool I mean to make into a top PLUS the everything else I want to play with, and I'm trying to be responsible about using up stuff before getting more

*wibble* Being responsible is hard.

Ahahaha, it is so hard to let go of money. So hard! But there is so much shiny out there, I don't think it will be too hard for much longer *g*
