The first step to escaping credit card debt is to destroy that little piece of plastic that got you into trouble in the first place. Forget about freezing it or leaving it at home because that just won’t work. Believe me, I know. There will come a time when it seems that the only way you can survive is to use the card, and if you haven’t destroyed it then that is what you will do.

It’s easy to kid yourself that you’ll pay off the balance at the end of the month, but ask yourself this: If you are going to pay it off at the end of the month, can’t you just wait till the end of the month and pay cash? The only way to become debt free is NOT to use the card.

Destroying a credit card is a very empowering thing to do. Think of it as one in the eye for those greedy companies who thrive on other people’s misery, because that is exactly what credit card companies do. They don’t make money out of people who pay their balance each month, they prefer the ones who pay the minimum amount - and the bigger the outstanding balance the better it is for them. Resolve today to fight back and become empowered by destroying your credit card!

But don’t think that cutting up the card is the end of the story. Oh no, there are some some fun ways of enjoying the experience too. Before employing any of these methods however, it is important to first cut the card up into several pieces with a pair of scissors (make sure you cut through the card number and the signature strip).

Armed with your freshly cut up credit card you might like to consider:

Whichever method you employ, I suggest you accompany the occasion with a glass of wine to celebrate your future debt free life.

You are probably by now thinking my ideas are a little crazy? Maybe so, but paying the credit card companies hefty interest charges each month is completely insane. Think about it…

It’s always fun to dress up to match your significant other. But, sometimes finding the perfect couple’s costume can be difficult, but luckily we have a guide for great couples Halloween costume ideas for $100 or less.

We have other great ideas for your couple costume that range from two spooky ghosts to two pirates. Here’s a sneak peek at all our favorite (an cheap!) couples costumes.

The Beckhams

Try being the ever-posh Beckhams. This is a very easy look to pull off because there are so many ways to define both Victoria and David.

• For Victoria: Go with a skimpy, strapped dress, huge sunglasses, and a wig that is short (like her current hairstyle).
• For David: Go with the Galaxy team uniform, a blond, spiky wig, and bandage your ankle.

Dorothy and the Scarecrow

• There’s lots of on-screen chemistry between these two characters. Using this classic movie, jazz up your Halloween. You can play the innocent Kansas girl with girlish braids or be a glamorous Emerald City Dorothy with flowing locks.

Pair of Pirates

• Pirate couples have been very popular Halloween choices ever since the first “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie premiered.

Electrical Socket and Plug

• Shock people at your party with this new classic couple costume. There’s a plug costume for the man and a socket costume for the woman, and we’ll just leave it at that.
