Beware VISA has a service called account updater. If you cancel a card and get a new one the service will give your NEW card info to any merchant enrolled in the service. This will be done WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT or knowledge. You will not be notified that it happened but you might have agreed to it in the tiny writing you never read when you set up the account. It is billed as a service to you but since you have to put in your new info anyway when you log on to the merchant site again it is really a way for the merchant to keep its hands in your pocket more easily. Watch closely when you set up accounts for reoccurring billing to make sure you really want it.

use credit wisely... 30 - 45 day interest free... pay it off every month.. or if 'larger purchase' over 6 weeks pay it off. Even if you take 2-3 month to pay off provided the majority paid off within the interest free period, tiny interest is paid. ALWAYS pay on time! ! ! If paying over 2-3 months, do not use again in this period, as 'interest free period' does not include new purchases if there is already a balance. I use low interest/ no rewards/ no points so getting rewards does not apply but the interest is 5-10% less! The 5th reason of 'insurance' is the most important.

I usually like most of what you say but this time I must disagree. Telling people who are living paycheck to paycheck (most of your audience) that you just need to have the discipline to pay off the credit each month is kind of like telling alcoholics that they just need more discipline to not drink while being around alcohol. In that situation, it's better to be proactive and not put yourself in situations where you will be tempted. Cut the credit cards and pour out the alcohol at home. Even paying with cards in general is problematic. There have been studies showing that we don't even see "the future us" as the same person. So when we pay with credit, we are essentially pushing the bill (aka the consequence) to "someone else". Which of course makes it very easy to overspend and leave the debt to "future you" (that guy can handle it).

Well, you need to build a credit score if you want a low interest mortgage or loan so it's worth it! You can pay 26 percent interest on a new home of you don't have a credit ratings YIKES! It's long term thinking rather than short term. You don't need to use credit for everything! Just enough to build a good score.

[@mangowolf5]

So basically credit cards are good if you want to borrow money and use rewards etc. hotels, flights as long as you pay them off?

[@timothydai4453]

Credit card is a no brainer, but only for people that are “deciplined”, paying the bills like he mentioned in the vids. You are spending those money anyway, why not spend them with credit card that also comes with those benefits? But again, don’t use it if you can’t control yourself

[@MinnieOnCam]

I don't want to see a credit card bill, so I will use my debit cards.

[@harisrehman5474]

Mark Cuban said to use Debit Card...

[@JustMyTiktoks]

haris rehman his also a billionaire he can use whatever and say whatever. I do use my debit card and credit combine

[@logandavis954]

Nawl I’d stick to my debit, don’t have to worry bout going into debt. And when I get paid I can save my own money.

[@SuperMillhill]

@@logandavis954 Exactly, with a credit card you have to pay them back anyways and people who are irresponsible with their money will probably end up in more financial struggle than before as they now have to owe the credit card company more money. With debit card you are in control of your finances.

[@djshockafrica4330]

I think the point at the end of the day is financial discipline, whichever card you choose to use

[@SuperMillhill]

@@djshockafrica4330 right, but with credit card you lose your discipline as you can just keep borrowing money. Debit card you really are having to develop financial discipline as you are in charge of your money and no one else, so no silly spending will take place as you know that money will be gone as opposed to credit card where you borrow money to allow for silly spending.

[@bjcj123]

It's all to do with self-control and discipline. It's like alcohol, if you use it right then it's fine, but when you lose control it's a downward spiral. Using a debit card is risk mitigation if you don't have solid self-control. I take it Dan Lok doesn't have a joint account and is good at managing money. Think of debit cards as training wheels - are people with bikes with training wheels stupid? Only if they could ride the bike without them. However if you know you can't ride a bike without them then you're stupid not to use them...

[@timgomez7954]

Dan I love your sales videos but this one you're wrong. All the data shows that you spend more money when you use a credit card than with cash. The borrower is a slace to the lender. Your most powerful wealth building tool is your income and if you give your income away to the credit card companies you don't have it anymore duh

[@timgomez7954]

As for cash back you have to spend 100,000 to get 1,000 cash back. In what universe does spending 100,000 to get 1,000 make sense

[@Meow-vu7sw]

Simple, if you spend 100k on what you need for your company, with credit card you get cash back, with debit card you just got nothing

[@avaxis]

You can stab a person with a pencil or you can write an awesome business plan and execute it. Don’t blame the credit card. It is just a leverage. How you use it is your responsibility. It is human nature to blame everything and everyone else except yourself.

[@jiLiIsAliveAndSleepy]

Use it along with a budget plan and track all expenses to ensure you aren't spending too much. You can screw up and overspend with debit too, but then you get overdraft fee or find yourself desperate for crap like payday loans with high interest rates. So it's all about money management!

[@Thundr4x]

Very surprising in the comments no one talks about Credit Score. I use Credit Card to have a great credit score despite having rewards. Credit Score is very important!

[@jtrstrings]

Yes, Credit cards can really help with a great credit score!

[@followyourheart5742]

Credit cards are for people who has discipline only. Don't use it if you cannot make full payment. Otherwise interest is much more than the perks they give out.

[@jtrstrings]

Recently I have been making smaller payments on credit cards a few times per month, before I get notice of my final monthly bill. Then, the amount at the end of the month won't be as large, and I know exactly where I really stand in my checking account as the month goes along. The bonus rewards won't be going away, and they will go right back as a credit to my credit card. I love that. It is like an extra income that's helping me pay the bill. I love this video, Dan, thank you! I have never used a debit card for purchases intentionally. Twice, my debit card matched the color of my credit card and I used that accidentally! I try to have two different color cards; one for the credit card, and one for the debit card. Much of the time, I leave my debit card home.

[@feryutomo4680]

At least don't use credit card for a consumtive things such as cars or other stuff that ends up nothing

[@gabrielmainville]

Even if you're poor, the best way you can get credit card is having a prepaid one and then you don't need to think about your bill.

[@mavictoriaacuna]

Having credit cards makes the loan lower unlike to those who doesnt own one.

[@melissagrhb4152]

Thank you Sir Dan Lok, I got my first credit card, I will apply this advice. My parents are scared of credit and don't recommend me one I got a card in secret I need my future!

[@tonywhite5085]

Debit cards dont build credit they are strictly bank cards connected to your account so you dont have to carry cash.

[@arthuranguiano8447]

I don’t blame my mother for now showing me right financially but I believe the only she had to do was bring me to this world of opportunity. And she did a great job

[@patrickdaep]

All millionaires know advise against debit card. Debit cards can do the exact same thing. People who use credit cards don't want to get rich.

[@lawrencevensondube8098]

If you can manage your finances why use credit as though it’s for free ... that’s financial slavery

[@steve00alt70]

If you need a credit card your not responsible and not smart with your money. I just have 1 debit card it has served me for 10 years and iv been alright no debt. If credit card companies and banks dont want you to be in debt then their buisness would collapse. The narrative of the credit score further pushes that belief that your responsible for things you cant afford. It reinforces that psychology that you "need a credit card to get thru life" Please be aware

[@waseemsajjadjokhio]

Dan Lok just promoting credit card for the Buck's he got.

[@maximorlov8208]

Yeah, right, Dan, who paid your?

The american worthless dream: live on borrowed money, dont work for your own

[@Kaiyats]

When I use my credit card I ensure I have the money in my bank before I make the purchase then I put it into a pot marked spent so I will always have the cash to pay off the balance even if the worst happened

[@alexszeborowski6578]

As long as you pay things within your means that you KNOW 100% sure you can pay off in full (on time of course) you will close to never if not EVER be in trouble. For example, I've had a credit card since 1999 (its currently 2024 since I wrote this) and not ONCE have I paid interest, becausr I always pay in full and I average $300 to $500 cash back every year eith a credit score of 800. Debit cards will NEVER do that. If something happens, the person being robbed is you on a debit card, but credit card u are spending their money, not ur money.

[@TrendingTopicSeries]

Great information, thumbs up for this video 👍👍

[@xldeadsniperlx3219]

Credit score is a joke lmao😂😂Anyone can buy a house with 0 down we can buy a car for you guessed it 0 down you can do anything without credit
