I just spent a few thousand dollars on new furniture for an apartment I just moved into.

But I know I don't have this problem because my credit card company immediately blocked the transaction and called me to make sure it was me because it was "not in line with my previous purchase history."

If I keep it up, something tells me they won't call back to warn me I might be succumbing to the Diderot effect. Hmm. Funny how that works.

I'd like my cards to glow green or red depending on my rate of incoming vs outgoings, not sure the card issuer would approve...
