Lured by Luxury Vacations, They Were Stuck With Debt

[Aristus]

4. Mrs. Aristus and I got hooked by one of those scams on our honeymoon.

I deferred to her on the purchase decision because she claimed to be better with money than me. (She thinks being raised in a wealthy family means she’s good with money.)

She decided to go for it, and we put the fee on a credit card. Once she read the fine print back at our hotel room, she hit the roof.

She called the credit card company and got the charge reversed. And we’ve both been a lot more careful about these scams since.
