I learned my lesson the hard way. I no longer have ANY carry-over credit balances. Zero debt.

David May

I feel terrible. I accidentally reported this comment when I thought I was up voting it! I have up voted it now!

Tina Bouthillier

I used to for many years but as of March 2022, debt free! yay!

Maureen Hannon

I got rid of all our credit cards years ago. The interest is ridiculous! You end up paying a lot more in interest than the the cost of the items purchased!

Margaret Meade

If I don't have the money...I don't buy it. Interest rates are ridiculous!!

Not for decades.

Bob Pickett

Have always kept a zero balance because I can

David May

No! Since I found out about Dave Ramsey and his concept for staying out of debt, it has become important to me not to do so.

No. But I understand if people have to, but we are blessed enough to be able to pay it off every month.

David May

Check out the Dave Ramsay system for getting out of credit card, and other debt! It has worked for me.

Valerie Lantz

We pay off all charges each month.

Jethro Born

Why buy more than I can pay for? The federal government does that, which causes inflation.

Robert Davidson

My credit card pays me, in the form of points. I do not want to pay my credit card company.

About 30% of my retirement but that does not include loses from inflation. FJB and everyone who helps him. People on the dole are not hurt by this, only those who work or worked for a living before retirement.
