Seriously the best investment you can make is to say no to credit. You don't need a credit card to buy a house either. All a credit card says is that you have been in debt a lot. Having no debt whatsoever is a much better way to live.

Being able to pick and choose who you owe money to is better as well. The banks are not at the top of my list. There are better ways to sell people on things imo. If you've actually seen the stuff some people do there are other people who need my money more.

TC is correct.
- Credit cards basically offer you multiple one month interest-free loans. If you pay those loans on time then a credit card is totally free to use. - You get rewards for using credit cards that add up over time. - Credit card companies charge stores a fee to use the credit cards, and the stores include that fee in their prices. So you are paying to use credit cards either way. There is a lot of bad information about credit cards, like this: ![]() --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time ...

Tell me how many people who have a credit card really pay it off every month too. You have to do that. You don't with a debit card. It gives you a grace period sure. That's nice.

If you buy something with a debit card, money is automatically deducted from your bank account.
It's not the best value, but you could always go home and do the same thing to pay for whatever you just bought with your credit card, every time you buy something. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time ... Copied to Clipboard!

People who are afraid of credit cards recognize they lack self control or are just uneducated about their benefits (or both). What an ignorant statement. Anyone who owns a credit card is risking financial ruin. Just google "credit card fraud claim denied." Here's one example. She had a credit limit of $500 but a fraudster somehow racked up $138,922.00 in fraudulent charges and then TD Bank denied her fraud claim. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/td-customer-fraud-unhappy-1.4341899 ...

Mostly ignorance and misinformation I would think. I avoided credit cards for a while because my father raised me to think they were pointless and only served to put people in debt. Took a while to break that way of thinking.

As someone who doesn't actually use a credit card, they're better than debit security wise.
Ever had to dispute a charge on debit? That's a right fucking nightmare. Square Enix triple charged me Drakengard 3 CE. Disputed it, the only option I had was reverse all three charges, asked them to do two, said they would, and did all three anyway--after my product had shipped. Fixing that took about a week because they froze my fucking card too. Maybe I just had a particularly bad case of incompetence but damn. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So when you're disputing $5K in charges would you rather have $5K missing from your bank account or $5K in charges on your statement while the dispute is ongoing? The point is the credit card gives you extra protection while a debit card you are out money from your actual bank account during this process. And no shit if you don't pay your debts then they will put you through collections I don't see how your post is a logical reply. --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. ...

I question a lot of that but even if true thats one very specific and out of the ordinary case. Citing such does not change the fact its by and far much less inconvenient to deal with credit fraud than deposit account fraud.
