WAY cool!!! (Giving Tuesday)

Along the same vein ... try browsing through the numerous petitions available to be signed at http://www.change.org/!

I think most of us lack the self-control to restrain our spending during the rest of the year, so when black friday, cyber monday, and giving tuesday hit us like a gang, we overspend and are left with huge credit card balances we can't pay. I suspect this is a plot by the credit card issuers to maximize the fee income they get when we can make only a partial payment.
