I guess you might have to wait till your 120th anniversary to go on a vacation again, if you stick with the minimum payments for this one.<br /><br />I also agree that the spending breakdowns could be improved. On the card we buy our gasoline with, it lists all sales from that company as fuel sales: even the sandwiches, coffee and pay-as-you go cell phone time! This isn't terribly useful to me. Luckily I can spot the fillups fairly easily and I track them myself. (We do not use the car for business, so we don't have to worry about an audit.)<br /><br />Belated congratulations on your anniversary!<br /><br />BetCrookshttp://financialcrooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-90423332896153397382013-01-13T14:53:46.107-05:002013-01-13T14:53:46.107-05:00The good news is that Personal finance management ...The good news is that Personal finance management tools (PFM) are coming around!

Credit card statements much now include the time it will take to pay off the account using minimum payments. This is presumably for people that are less astute than yourself that have a lesser appreciation for the financial impact of such a decision to make minimum payments.Sachahttp://divestor.comnoreply@blogger.com
