Another Line Increase from Citibank (And How I Reacted to It)

For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel happy after knowing that Citibank has just given me a line increase. I used to get excited whenever I’d get a surprise like this from credit card companies. I remember when I first landed a job after college, all I wanted to do was apply for a credit card.

We made a lot of impulsive purchases (I once bought tons of cheap postcards just because they were on sale!) and spent money before it even came.
