Default The one thing that always puts me in debt...

You wouldn't believe it but fuel is the one thing that always puts me into debt.
No matter what your balance is, whether it's a few dollars or you have a negative balance, you can use your card at the pump.
This always puts me into debt!
Anyone else have or had the same problem?

Really this makes me also confused but there must be some definite reason behind this. Hopefully we will come to know this thing very soon.

I asked my friends and family if their cards can still go through and they didn't know it could.
Every month I have so much debt from this.

Do you budget? I use my credit card at the pump too, but, I always pay it off each month. If that's not happening, you need to find out where you can cut your spending.

If you can afford it, you may get an electric car as it will reduce your fuel bills significantly.

@Jerelene
It all depends on self control. Sorry to say but this kind of habit gets developed with the time and may end up putting us in trouble. So be careful....

Yes, I do had such problem in past but being disciplined I overcome my habit of spending excessively on drinks and hence debt free.

That would be the main reason for debt for some people. You can avoid this problem by paying debt on time. If you use your credit card more for fuel, then you should choose the right credit card which suits your spending pattern. This will help you to avoid debt for some extend.
