With today being the 4th of July nothing reminds me more of this holiday than burgers on the grill and fireworks. As a kid I remember how it was. I started thinking about fireworks as soon as the snow melted in March. I have seen that pretty much all of the fireworks stands around my town accept credit cards. Seriously?? How stupid is that? Your putting something onto your credit card at 18% interest that goes up in smoke. LITERALLY.
You need to stop and ask yourself before you go out an buy a bunch of fireworks on credit. Do I really want to pay interest on something that is gone in a few seconds? I don't think so.
The best way to stay safe this 4th of July is to use cash to pay for your fireworks, it will hurt a lot less next month.
Using Credit For Fireworks!

Not everyone buys with credit with the intention of NOT paying it off. We pay our credit card balance in full at the end of each cycle. I agree that there are MANY who don't do this, but it's unfair to say it's stupid to buy something on credit when you don't know a persons personal financial habits.
