World War II: Home Front World War II, or "The Good War" as it has often been called, ushered in new opportunity, new prosperity, and an entirely new lifestyle for many Americans. Wartime mobilization pulled the American economy out of depression by employing millions and invigorating the nation as a whole. "The Good War," however, didn't provide the remedy for many social problems, and in some cases rapid population movement, concern over national security, and wartime rhetoric only exacerbated racial, ethnic, and class-based tensions at home. Another world war... and so soon after the first! Let's recap: the declaration of war in 1917 came only after careful deliberation and debate—lots of it—between President Woodrow Wilson and many vocal government officials. This time around, facing a new world war, the American people were not fooled by abstract goals. Imagine what this kind of fear, paranoia, and sense of utter urgency might do to a nation. But war doesn't always bring the best out of a nation's people.

The Dangers of Credit Cards Credit cards are potentially dangerous, especially for new credit card users who may be fascinated by the allure of what seems like “free” money. Even some experienced credit card users still fall into credit card traps. If you’re thinking about getting a credit card – or wondering whether to drop your credit cards – understanding the dangers that come along with credit cards can help you cultivate better credit card habits. Know also, that there is a way to use credit cards responsibly and avoid the traps that so many consumers have fallen into. The Temptation to Overspend Studies show that consumers spend more when they’re paying with credit cards than when paying with cash.

Interest Makes It Harder to Pay off the Balance How to avoid it: Pay your balance in full to avoid paying any interest on purchases.
