Something to do with saving themselves or others? called something like a mass card or something? I am not making fun or anything, just like to know if stuff you hear is true.

I think you might be refering to something called a mass intention.  Some people "buy" a mass for another person/intention (can be anything, world peace, a friend, dead or alive) . . . they pay a small fee, recieve a card saying that a mass will be said in honor of that intention and the intention is mentioned during the prayers of the faithful.  My husband's great-aunt always buys a mass for us at Christmas time.  Not sure, but that is as much as I can make out from what you're mentioning.

I AGREE WITH YOU WHOLEHEARTIDLY.  I see all these people flipping out their credit cards when it comes to pay.  They go to bed worrying, they are thousands of dollars in debt, they probably have all kinds of high blood pressure, ulcers. etc.   If I can't pay for it cash, I don't get it.  I learned  my lesson by putting myself in major debt with credit cards.  I have paid them off and now I live a simple life.  I have taught my children to appreciate things.  Don't get me wrong. I give them what they need, but they are not spoiled little brats. They have learned to appreciate the value of things and money.  Excellent question and though provoking.

We're now working on the principle of "credits" or "points". You trade me so many points, I keep your lights on. Pretty soon we won't use cash and won't need credit cards... our financial history and information will be linked to our thumbprints (of course, we must fight against this!!) so you'll just give you thumbprint and walk out of the grocery store or pay your electric or whatever. \n\nTechnically, there are not enough bills or coins in the US to cover all the monies we use daily.

Some people feel that an individual is saveable no matter what they do.  These people feel that with enough counseling someone can become a productive member of society no matter what they have done.  These poeple just believe that it is unfair to just "throw some away."

Perhaps they mean the ledgers or the account books that you actually use to keep a running total of income and expenditure... If so, you need to describe how and why they are used and include some example pages from account books themselves.... Check with tutor or teacher just to make sure.

I think its fun but seriously, we could be thinking and using the money for important things that we need in life.  For example gas. prices are too high and it could run out. So we should come up with something to help us all whether it be gas, medical or food.. We need to survive.

they have those secured credit cards, where you put up a savings account and they give you that amount in credit. It shows on your credit report as a credit, so you build credit that way.\nhttp://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/cc/19990823.asp

No, you aren't the only one that finds this confusing.  It seems like the more I read--the more they contradict eachother.  I think it is just a hit or miss---sometimes the advice you get works, sometimes it doesn't.  What worries me is that some of the people that have used the advice received have had negative effects on their credit---its really confusing.

Some years ago when I was still in the RAF and earning serious money (now it would be in excess of £60k) I was turned down for a credit card that gave 0.5% of everything I spent to an RAF charity.  It was issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland and I could never work out why.\n\nNever mind - "he that has richness of character is rich beyond the dreams of avarice".

You're absolutely right. These are people who decided to save up for Christmas rather than use credit cards. They acted more responsibly than many other people.\n\nThey probably weren't the richest people in the community, but that doesn't make them chavs. And I think it's really nasty to suggest that it does.

Yes..  what goes around comes around.  It's a weird thing but you do the right thing and when you least expect it boom someone does the same to you..    Plus, the money will probably come out of the cashier's pocket.  And if you return the money it will make someone's day.   Peace.

My Grandfather and a few other people I have met, put a small bio on the back of their cards. This is nice for a few reasons..It will be unique, it lets you get to know the person a bit (which can be quite helpful if you are thinking of employing this person for services), and the person how gets the card will be way more apt to remember who you are...Also you can throw in a humorous antic-dote...leave 'em laughing.

sorry no\ncharity begings at home\nthat dosnt mean that if say my sister needed help I wouldnt use my credit card to help her but a lot of the money given to charity goes on promotions adds leaflets admin costs less than half on any given charity actually gets to the people you want it to go to

if your question was, save  one stranger as opposed to one relative, i think there would be more to think about..... the concept of being able to save 6 or 1, in a burning building, just doesnt seem feasible,,, but anyway, im not sure any of us know what we would do in an emergency situation like that,,,,, yes we would try to help/save our loved ones,,,,, but we might not necessarily love our relative.        and i think we would try to help the children/babies/elderly /disabled, who were not able to help theirselves,,,,, our relative might not be in that/those groups,,,,

Why does anyone spend more than they save? I don't think this is a problem exclusive to any one ethenticity.

Yes, where can I send you my money or should I just save time and throw it out the window myself? \nJesus! Do people still fall for theses things?
