So, turns out the associate press wanted to interview people that match a different criteria. And, after Tim talked with them, he found out that I match the criteria. The story goes...in 2004 I was walking back to my college apt and long behold a flier was on the door advertising free food at the local favorite chinese restaurant in Westerville. So, any college student would be game for free food! So, I immediatly went down to the place and found that it was indeed a credit card scam. Sign up for a credit card=free food. Being the naive young college student I was and starving for free food, I signed up. So, this led me into the downward spiral of living on the dreaded credit card for the next 5 years. Need food? Charge. Need gas? Charge. Need essential toiletries? Charge. Need a night out with friends? Charge. My $7.50/hr job at the time was not enough topay off the monthly balance. The credit card was happy with this, and proceeded to increase the limit, therefore I increased my balance. Now, after college, I realized my lesson and I am trying to learn from the mistake and in about 5 years will be entirely free from credit card debt.
The good news, apparently I'm not alone considering the associated press wants to research the prevelance of the credit card scams with college students across the nation. So...news on news to come in upcoming blogs.
