My Son Lived A Rich Life With Credit Card Debt. I Canceled It But Regretted It After He Revealed This

So, my son Jack was living large, flashing his Amex Gold card like it was a VIP pass to life. I thought I was helping when I canceled it. You know, teaching him a lesson in responsibility. But then something nagged at me. Had I just pulled the rug out from under him? What I learned next about Jack's life without that credit card was more than eye-opening—it was downright heartbreaking.

Jack's Amex Gold card was always warm from being swiped. He was living like a king, even if it was all on credit. Each month, the credit card company sent statements, and each month, I'd see the numbers rise like a thermometer on a hot day. I often wondered if he noticed, or if he believed the credit card carried no weight. It seemed like every purchase was an indulgence he couldn't pass up.
