Your flexible fiend

Today I paid off two credit cards in their entirety. I am mightily pleased with myself; my profligate past is slowly coming under control, and I am freeing up enough lines of credit to finance a profligate future my cashflow might soon begin to look a little rosier.

Whatever its benedits or disbenefits at a national level, there is much to be said for applying a little Freedmanesque monetarism to the old wallet. That said, Keynsian economics is far more fun.

Until the bill arrives.

Still, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't had fun running up the debt, my credit cards financed two longish holidays in the US, and any number of trips to Germany, Sweden and Belgium.

Can't complain.
