The prepaid Visa and Mastercards that I flipped over yesterday had some pretty steep or annoying fees attached. In addition to the $5 or $6 activation fee, they had a bewildering variety of inactivity fees or use-it-or-lose it features.
You may find yourself paying a pretty steep price for untraceable prepaid cards.

You know what? I really do thank ya all who have taken time to try and give me very smart suggestions on how to use this money wisely.
But after hearing(reading really) about all the things poor people do with all their refund by going vacations and spending it on cell phones and all the other stuff.....I have decided I'm gonna be stupid and go out and buy all kinds stupid junk.
The reason? I guess I have failed at being poor. LOL
So....help me spend this money on stupid junk.
I'm thinking...
new tv. probably a 55 inch. new laptop. Not clue about these...but something that costs $500 sounds good right? My couch and chair that we bought new almost 4 yrs ago for $400 is looking like the cheap pieces of sh!t they really are...so NEW furniture. How much does it have to cost for it to be "good" are we talking $1000's? Oh I also do NOT have a purse of any kind but I think I need a designer to doing this the "right way" so I need to know what the heck is a designer bag? My cell phone is good and works but I think I am suppose to have a smart phone. What is that? I'm getting one for everyone in the family...even the 3 yr old.
Damn it I am tired of failing and was trying to be wise and do what is best to help us out to get us out of this sh!t hole we got our selves into but I guess I failed.....so help me be good at something!!!!
(P.S. this is just me ranting. I do not intend to do any of this stupid sh!t. But seriously...I'm sick of everyone saying that everyone poor is doing this so I just kinda wanna fit in. kthanks.)

Well while you're at it, why don't you buy a designer maybe Vera Wang dress? Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances are all the rage - don't forgot those. By the way I don't have any of those things Seriously, when I first started reading your post I was disappointed, shocked even. I think I stopped breathing for a couple of seconds. But at the end I gave you Karma for sticking to it. You will get to a better financial place as long as you stay the course. I'm sure of it.
