I have decided to put this blog on a permanent vacation. I have determined that while my 20 years in the credit card industry would be very helpful, frankly I need to put the past behind me. I am not passionate about credit cards and frankly they are nothing but pure evil. I have decided to move in more creative and positive directions in my life. I hope that you, my readers have gained some insight from my blog. I wish you much success in the fight against credit and debt.

If you have questions or need help with a credit card related issue, please feel free to drop me an email.

Thank you

Scott
