For example, a teen buys a $50 pair of jeans on sale for $35 on credit card. If he/she pays just the 3-4% minimum, what would the end cost be with sample interest and finance changes!!! That brings home the message...those sale jeans weren't on sale after all!!! I wish you had a real life situation with the calculated end cost with finance charges and interest.

I therefore associate money and talking about it with stress and conflict. I know I need to get over this for the sake of my children though. Your example is an inspiration! thanks Neil Hi
