Personal Finance Tip: Sometimes lowering the APR on your credit card is as easy as calling customer service and asking specifically, “My APR is X.XX, is there any way you can lower that? I’ve been a customer since X”. It’s important to stress how long you’ve been a customer because it shows that you appreciate your relationship with the company.

Simultaneously hilarious and heart-breaking. The cheesy song interludes are just painfully on-the-ball.

“Eight-nine eaaasy payments…”
“I’m saaavin’ so much money”
“Fiiive different flavours”

Gah. Hits you right *there*. The worst part of it is that this accurately describes so many people’s lives in the US and elsewhere.
