We are usually quite proud of ourselves when we manage to save money on our purchases whether buying something on sale or using a coupon. Contrarily, we get a bit outraged when we receive a penalty fee from a company we are using for needed services. Why is it that we don't apply this mentality to our investment portfolios?Credit card companies refer to us as "Deadbeats" if we pay off our credit cards monthly and avoid their high interest charges while simultaneously taking advantage of their generous reward programs.
