Fallen Angels, 5 Credit Card

It’s hard to believe how many credit cards Dick and Jane have maxed out, and how often they make only the minimum payment since they lost their jobs.

They’ll take on a high-interest card to get the signup bonus so they can pay off one that’s delinquent.

It’s a challenge keeping track of which issues are live and which are dead. Standing in checkout lines, they play Russian roulette rifling through their duplicate Discover, Visa and Mastercards.

Jane earned slightly more than Dick at the White House due to working overtime on a Steve Bannon project – she doesn’t like to talk about that.

She had planned on marrying a man who is older, taller, and savvier at managing their finances than she is. Her mother Virginia tells her two out of three of those qualities isn’t bad for a first husband.
