BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who could have been the inspiration for the phrase "salt of the earth". Family and friends have no understanding of your inner self, but neither do you. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time calling an endless list of 800 numbers wanting to buy either a coffee table shaped like the state of Florida or storage boxes for your summer clothes. Be on the lookout for malfunctioning pocket calculators. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter Y, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 754142. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).
Is this You?
As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.
This isn't me! What am I?

Charging Up Your CREDIT CARDS (aka Plastic Money)Here's the scene: You've made your monthly stop (for the second time this week) at the Mega-Mart Discount Warehouse Super Center for a few essentials -- cashews, soap, licorice, garden hose, peanut clusters, color television, and a large inner tube for whitewater rafting. Do you pay with a check or whip out your Interstate OmniBank Platinum Diamond Express credit card? Credit card? Good choice. You don't actually have to PAY for the stuff that you're buying -- at least not right away. Your bank account is safe.
