Eek.  I had no credit history, and my bank just gave me a credit card with 
what some people tell me is a very high credit limit.  Funny, I always thought
of very high as somewhere in the tens of thousands.  Must mean I had a skewed
view.  And I'd only had my current job for about 7 months at that time.
