THE METHODIST Church in Britain is launching a new credit card, but it will not be used to make purchases.
The ”˜Buy Less Live More’ credit card is being distributed to act as a reminder to people to think twice before making a purchase. The card is designed to be placed in a wallet or purse in front of other credit cards as part of a campaign to get people to curb their spending.
For a while I had a sticker with the 10 Commandments on the inside fold of my wallet. I’d received it on a children’s Sunday at Church. I didn’t want to throw it away so I put it on the flap in front of my bank cards. It actually did make me think twice about some of my purchases and whether they were really necessary. It rubbed off a while back. I now have an icthus fish sticker (a more recent children’s Sunday).
