June 15: Bad credit = No iphone

Bummer.

That's all...BUUUUMMMEERRRR.

I was going to change phone plans, trade Verizon for ATT. And since I was going that direction, might as well get the iPhone4 right? RIGHT! Well, ATT has a security deposit for people who don't pass the CREDIT CHECK! Verizon doesn't have a credit check, so why the hell does ATT? Anyway, so I have bad credit which means I would have had to pay a lovely sum of $1000 dollars for me to even activate my phone. Well, I don't see that money again for a year, and that's if and ONLY if I pay each month on time in full for a whole year. WHEW! I have no doubt that I can do that. However, that's a lot of money. And I could think of it as a big savings account but at the same time, NO! I am NOT going to do that. I'd rather pay off some credit debt with that money and get it when I feel like it! Like Marisa says, 'Well, dang Keisha, if you didn't have a shopping problem we wouldn't be having this conversation!' ...

I know I know it's my fault I'm in this mess, and I'm gonna have to get out of it myself. Well, with Suze Orman's help that is. But, I'll pull through. I always have!

In other news, I booked my plane ticket to New York the other week. Round trip it was only $175!! Thank you Expedia.com! I'll be going July 23 thru the 27, so if you're in the city then, hit me up!!
