Overview
Before you plunk down any money on a fabulous new meal, coat or car, double-check your bank account -- and then double-check your credit card statements. You might not have as much money at your disposal as you think, and now is not a good time to go into debt (or any further into debt). Take a break from unnecessary spending for the next few days, and distract yourself with life's free pleasures. Give your finances a chance to catch up.
