Nope. This is just American brainwashing, same with cars being the end all, be all form of transportation. They want people to think like this so they can get you sucked into their system and pile up debt and intrest payments and mortgages. No thanks to any of that.

That's the stupidest fucking deranged brainwashed absolute drivel and hogwash I've heard in a long time. I've had a credit card for longer than most of this board's users have been alive and I've never once been "sucked into their system and piled up debt and [interest] payments" and... what, did you say mortgages? This whole fucking thing is a rib, isn't it? Got me there!

I guess it had to been a joke, because nobody would believe that nonsense. A credit card is superior to a debit card by most objective metrics. The two are broadly treated the same by retailers (so credit or debit you face the same penalties when there are penalties) except credit cards have far more perks including a greater number of protections, far less potential for disruption when something goes wrong, rewards of all kinds, etc. Offhand, I can't remember the last time I've used a debit card to pay for anything because, really, why would I?
