Dear Visa,
Dear Visa,
What can I say? We've been through alot together. I remember meeting you when I was only 19. You were sitting there, all discreetly in the mail, with those gleaming rates peeping out from your foggy envelope window. You were smitten, you told me how responsible I seemed, what a great fit we'd be, and you were willing to go all the way right away. I've never been so caught off guard, and yet so comfortable.
And you treated me right. You bought me a nice new bed, and didn't mind if I saw other girls. God, I loved that space. You were so reliable, like a regular booty call. But we both know it was more, so much more. I became dependent on you. And you never let me down.
You even bought meals and drinks for my other dates. Steadfastly knowing that I'd be back, usually by the end of the month. I love you Visa. You took me to Europe and Hawaii. You took me to concerts, and bought me cds and clothes, I didn't even have to ask. Just a glance and you were there.
But then you became testy, and then down right obsessed. Your notes, while seemingly charming, were unsettling. I sent my regards whenever I could, but you always wanted more. And you'd throw it back in my face. I couldn't do for you they way you did for me. Rather, you wanted more. And you never let up.
Well Visa, I want you to know that I wrote you AGAIN today- and this was the last time. We're even now, I don't owe you a thing. And having achieved this balance, I think its best we see other people.
You've been great, just not what I need or am looking for at this time.
I hope you understand, I'm sure you'll be okay, but you just want too much. I can walk away, now, knowing I did you right. I'll miss you, but theres just no good reason to continue.
Goodbye, Visa. Thanks for understanding.
Your friend,
Josh

Oh my gosh..that is so funny! And so true! I've traveled this road with visa myself...said goodbye and was very happy with the payoff/breakup...but gosh darnit if Visa didn't show up at some pretty horrible emergencies in my life and 'kindly' offer to help. Now I've been suckered into a relationship I won't be able to get out of for a very long time.
Good for you though! I hope you are able to say no the next time Visa comes begging for your attention! lol!
Yay!!! No more Visa debt!!! I remember when I paid off my 8 credit cards I felt like somebody let me out of prison. I think I cried a little.
That's awesome! The ultimate love-hate relationship! :)
I wrote the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser yesterday... gotta love letters!
I don't get it...its like Visa is your surrogate mother-girlfriend-bestfriend
..so confusing! i think that calls for some psychotherapy.
Yeah I got my first CC in college and had NO business having one! I am glad I learned my lesson early though.
Painful the end of a relationship, but sometimes you just have to admit that history does not make a future (actual lame line I used on a guy, once).
Congrats on the end of Visa debt. I have hopes that my American Express and I will soon part company.
I am still recovering from the "college days Visa." Panama City beach, FL. 1998. "Come on over and sign up, get your free t-shirt!" What I didn't know was I was getting a Visa that I could not say no to. Here I am, still suffering from it. I learned such a good lesson. :)
