Another weird thing, but I've never had a credit card before. Debit cards have poor protection against fraud, so I might as well have a credit card even if I'll only buy things I can afford. Some of them have pretty good rewards. It could be worth choosing one based on rewards rather than rates. I wouldn't mind cash back or cheap vacations just from buying gas and groceries. <br>

Anyway, now that everything's slowed down, I should start biweekly articles again. I already have articles planned, but maybe-maybe if I'm not too shy, I can start sharing the more fun parts of my GDD.

It'll lead to a lot of misrepresentative articles, but hopefully since it says "diary" up there, they can be appreciated as iterations. <br>
