general the looking up that things are doing continues

Last week on a whim I filled out a credit card application with my bank, which is something I haven’t tried to do in years and years. Much to my amazement, I got approved, with about twice the credit limit of any card I’ve ever had before.

I must be a grownup now.

Basically, what this means is very little, just that I can save some money in the long run by transfering the balance off a very high-rate Sony card I have and that I can definitely afford to go to Hawaii no matter what else happens between now and then. I’m going to try very, very hard to use this new credit for absolutely nothing except Hawaii things if I have to and other emergencies before then (like if my car breaks).

In any case, it’s a gigantic load off my mind to finally have an emergency credit card. I’ve spent the last decade or so without one.
