December 4, 2007

It’s the first week in December, but the only way you’d know that is by watching the weather reports across the country. Here in South Florida it’s sunny and bright, nowhere near a Winter Wonderland. Definitely the kind of winter that snowbirds migrate for. But we’re expecting a ‘cool front’… Meteorologist John Gerard will explain what that means tonight.

Credit Card Investigation
I got my first credit card in high school. It had a $200 limit, but I thought it was the best thing in the world. My parents always hounded me that it was just for emergencies, and if I were to ever use it, I needed to pay it in full at the end of each month. It was a practice that got drilled in my head, to ensure a good credit score.

Coming up at 7pm, Joel Connable takes a look at what critics are calling an outrageous practice.
