I wanted that card; I dreamed and had fantasies about having that card. Little did I know that I will find myself 15 years later walking the streets of Cape Town with it:
Occupation: Student
The bag on my hand: Prada (R1200)
Shoes: Lacoste (R365)
Jeans: Mr. Price (R139)
Shirt: Jet- (R45) from kiddies section, no one will ever know
Last but no least, scarf (R600) - Vivian Westwood
BANK ACCOUNT: R45. 00
CREDIT CARD: - R3200
A card so powerful that it would buy you anything u dreamed or wished for, a card that had no limits to the world. The window displays would yell at me as I walk pass with confidence and excitement. "Buy me, buy me!!!" my mind would hear the echo. But the consequences of the feelings were not so great. Suddenly there was a vibration from my bag, I then quickly dig in my bag. A private number... it was the Bank...

Yeah, great one Lawrence. I too have a similar relationship with my 'Magic Card.' lol
Credit cards or "magic cards", as you put it, can do seriuos damage to one's fanancial life if not used carefully. I like how you have laid down the point and the message of this post.
