Wendy's & Credit

So the new Wendy's store opened in Bear Creek, Columbia last week. I worked the opening day. Everything seemed to work pretty well, except for one little problem … the credit card machines did not work!!! Not a big deal for some; but for others, this little "problem" determined whether or not they were going to enjoy a delicious meal.

Since I have been doing an internship for the last couple months with Dave Ramsey's working with the My Total Money Makeover Web site, I have learned that credit and debt are BAD with a capital B! So this little "problem" brought a smile to my face. That was just the opposite for many customers. In a way, I laughed to myself every time someone had to drive away, or walk out of the restaurant ... just because they didn't have the cash to pay for fast food! Makes you wonder what other things they charge if they can’t even pay cash for Wendy's.

Don't these people know that using credit and acquiring debt is NOT the only choice?! I can tell you that they WOULD know if they were following Dave’s Plan. A plan that teaches you basic principals like living on less than you make (a.k.a. having a budget), saving for the future, building wealth and giving to others. I don’t know about other people, but I know what my plans are; I will be rich, I will Change My Family Tree, and by living like no one else now, I will live like no one else later.
