A : What's the bonus like at your company ?

B : Well , it's OK , I suppose . We get about the equivalent of six months' salary .

A : Six months' salary ? Are you serious ? That's incredible!

B : Maybe. But you'd be amazed at how little's left after the credit companies have deducted their share from my account .

A : Hey , I know what that's like . I bought a BMW on my Visa card . Now the payments really hurt .

B : Well, you're lucky that you're still able to make your payments . I missed a credit payment last month . Now my bank account's overdrawn , and the company is threatening to take back my purchases.

A : What did you buy ?

B : A new home health monitor .

A : Health Monitor?I read an article about that racket . They're overpriced to begin with ! Listen : if I were you , I'd let them take back their monitor and spend my money on something more practical .

B : You're kidding !

A : No joke!

B : That's something else ! Maybe I'll return it to them .
