    Me too! Me too! And if anyone's still feeling a bit embarassed about being excited at being accepted into the Geek Clique, I am more of a loser than all of you, because I just looked at the numbers and thought 'hey, if I wait a little longer I could be number 169'... *sigh*

    My student daughter called me a nerd when she saw me looking at this site (maybe she is already a DFW nerd, although this is not yet apparent in her spending habits). I did not know how to apply for this coveted? title until I read this thread.
    'Please can I be a NUMBER - not a Human Being?'
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
