Prepaid MasterCard

Prepaid MasterCard By Susan Jennings

When I was a young girl selling Girl Scout cookies door-to-door, I was learning the basics of financial management. With a prepaid MasterCard or prepaid debit MasterCard, you can too! Though I was doing this when I was seven years old, don't let that embarrass you. Age means nothing--just ask R. kelly or one of those old guys in college. It's never too late to give your money to MasterCard.

I learned a valuable lesson in those hearty days of my young entrepreneur: if you ever get into a bind, just whip out your prepaid MasterCard and flash it around. If they see that you have a prepaid MasterCard, there is no stopping you.

My husband Jason does yoga, but he doesn't let that stop him from having a couple prepaid MasterCards. The only reason of course is that I gave them to him as a gift the last eight Christmases, and he is agoraphobic, which means he is too much of a "scaredy-cat" to leave the house. He doesn't like to use the internet either because he is afraid it will give him tumors. So I'm not sure what I was thinking when I gave him those MasterCard credit cards--I guess maybe I just get crazy when I think of aprepaid MasterCard. I get irrational. I do criminal things.

But that's neither here nor there. Today, thanks to my training as a young cookie hawker, I use a different platinum MasterCard for every item I buy at the grocery store. Peanut butter, for example, gets a Chase MasterCard. But let me tell you this: I never miss a chance to buy some cookies when a little girl in a green sash comes to my door. And I pay her with my gold MasterCard. Because that one is for cookies. Only cookies.

No matter what you use your prepaid MasterCard card for you will find that it can be a great way to "check" yourself and not allow your spending to get too far out of control. Budgets can be hard to follow, but prepaid MasterCard cards can help you to ensure that you stick to it.
