L'Oreal's slogan 'because you're worth it' has come to epitomise banal narcissism of early 21st century capitalism; easy indulgence and effortless self-love all available at a flick of the credit card.

Life's irony;Some people use their credit cards to start an enterprise,while others use theirs to accumulate unyielding assets.

I wish the credit card terminal showed "Do you really need to buy this" before I entered my PIN number

Money is a poor man's credit card.

Credit card interest payments are the dumbest money of all.

My world foreshortened, flattening into a credit card. Seen head on, things seemed merely skewed, but from the side the view was virtually meaningless--a one-dimensional wafer. Everything about me may have been crammed in there, but it was only plastic. Indecipherable except to some machine.
