Plus, Girl Scout cookies on the charge card? Sounds like trouble for that New Year's resolution.
See our top headlines on Storify.
It's that time of year when Girl Scouts start selling cookies and you start keeping a little bit of cash in your pocket to get some Thin Mints or Samoas. In the past, empty wallets have meant empty stomachs, but no more.
