A Strongly Worded Letter to My Credit Card

Dear Credit Card,

We have been conducting business together for about 9 years. Yet I feel that we know so little about one another. You now that I love buying things that I can't afford and living outside my means and I know that you help me get what I want when I want it. That is the extent of our friendship. As far as I was concerned, we had a good thing going.

I am now 25-years-old and quite frankly, I am tired of living under your rule. When we were first introduced to one another I was under the impression that with your help, I could buy things I wanted when I didn't have the money to pay for them. Now it is my understanding that you expect me to PAY you back for all of the goods and services I have¡cquired over the years? Not only that, but you apparently expect me to pay you back with interest? I may be mistaken, but I do not recall this being part of our¡rrangement. I'll admit that I didn't exactly read the terms of our partnership, but I'm fairly confident that this was not a stipulation. Otherwise I may have considered´aking my business elsewhere.

Now in addition to paying my many other bills, I am forced to include a check for you. Not only that, but you insist that I pay a minimum amount of money each month. You are quite demanding for some one that lives in my pocket and only sees the light of day when I have exhausted the contents of my checking account on booze.

I'm afraid that I am going to have to terminate our relationship, effective immediately. I trust that this will²elinquish­e from our contract and I will no long be responsible for paying my substantial debt.

Yours truly,
