Quotes to ponder:

"If you think there is even a slight chance you can't pay off the entire balance by the end of the promotional period, you need to avoid a deferred interest credit card."

"Home secured credit cards are always a bad idea. The potential consequence of not making payments is the loss of your family's shelter, which is a necessity."
