This advice is for people that don't pay off their card each month.

[@seeks6272]

No you missed the point paying into your credit score essentially since if you spend 1000 you are going to pay let’s say 1200 that 200 that you put into “building credit” can be used to build more wealth not throw money into a magic number that will only help you finance a house why finance a house when you can pay cash you see

[@pat156462]

It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner).

Thank you!

[@nicholasselke5214]

There was an MIT study on this. When paying with cash instead of a card, it activates the pain receptors in the brain. This is what makes the connection necessary to be intentional with your spending, leading to far less impulse purchases. With a debit card, there is some disconnect but not completely because your money is still coming directly out of your bank account. There is zero connection when using a credit card. People who say they spend the same way with a credit card as they do with cash are lying to themselves at the very least. And when justifying the use by saying points or rewards, or air miles, all of these rewards (except for “cash back”) are redeemable only for things you don’t need, and will require you to spend more money to enjoy them

[@erikblomqvist8325]

Technically, it does put you in debt. You're in debt until you clear the balance. However, if you pay your balance each month all the money you owe has 0% interest, which means that you're not losing any money on that debt. In fact you're probably making money from it, since you're likely getting interest on the money you are keeping in your account.

[@rishiaman2288]

it just makes it “account payables”

Same. And I also like to take advantage of cash back. I have funded trips with it, but I mostly cash and invest it. It's basically free money. I have never paid any interest or any kind of fee.

[@yupdatscookie]

Likewise, I pay the balance in full every month (minus the cash-back applied) so the card pays me. Furthermore, if you follow this practice most cards will allow you to request a credit limit increase every six months, which increases your overall borrowing power, which can lead to a better credit score.

[@patriciaque197]

Well appreciate your honesty🙏🏾 but honestly I have a question, I’m 18 and have yet to start building my credit bc I want to learn first and make less mistakes as possible, after watching this video I am now unsure whether I should start building at all😅 what’s the actual pros to building credit besides financing things? Pls and thank you for your time.

[@dronzie]

​@iriana_official162 In order to build credit, you need to show that you can borrow money and pay it back responsibly. You can do this by getting personal loans or auto loans, but those are costly and something you should only use when you actually need those things. On top of that, the benefit of those loans to your credit usually go away once you finish paying those loans off which will cause your score to drop along with that line of credit. Which is why credit cards are a much simpler way to build and maintain a good credit score. Unlike loans, credit cards have a permanent line of credit that stays open as long as you use the card every once in a while. Just make sure to limit your use of them to stuff that you have to buy anyway like bills, transportation, and groceries. If you feel you are financially responsible enough for it, using it to buy all your other expenses is fine too. Also of course, make sure you fully pay your credit card balance off every single month.

[@philiplubduck6107]

I use a credit card because I at the very least get 1% back in rewards and get 5% on my groceries which nowadays definitely helps.

Only time I pay cash is when buying from someone in person or from a mechanic or someone who gives a discount for paying in cash.

@@karltiedemann7222 No. Plenty of starter CCs or even Chase Freedom they give to broke college students. So just any CC that will give you one, but then treat it like your own virtual ATM Machine on a card. As in use it like you're withdrawing cash and you're simply creating an IOU to finally pay the accumulated IOUs when the Statement Balance comes in. Never underpay a statement balance where interest starts to get tacked on. Within a couple of months new CC opportunities will start to open to you. But only to make your total credit limit be higher and in turn the utilization amount can be larger and you can spend more. To be clear never spending more than you can pay per month, but you can carry a larger balance within the month without getting dinged for going over Utilization percentage.

Debt is good if you have a plan to leverage the money to get more. Such as private equity companies like black stone who take over other business assets. I'll give a nice example. There was a casino in sydney that was under huge amount of debt they couldn't pay the bank. Blackstone came in like an angle with 60% debt leveraged and bought the casino. They litterally took all the debt and paid it off like it was nothing and got a business. This is just one example of debt used as an instrument. If you are smart enough to make money work for you then you will be better taking on debt. Hence why you need a solid plan because if not this same thing can backfire and cost you a lot of money. So debt is good if you can use it as a leveraging instrument but it is a double edged sword. (Sorry for this long explanation just needed to show you how debt can beneficial but also harmful).

There’s a caveat to this advice. If you have credit cards that give you rewards, like cash back on your purchases, then you should absolutely use them and pay them off every month.

We’ve been doing this for around 10 years and have never paid a dime in interest.

[@nicholasselke5214]

If the rewards are something other than cash back, they’re only redeemable for things you don’t need and encourage you to spend more without thinking. Would I spend $700 on a round trip ticket to go to Hawaii, $900 for lodging for the week, $300 on food, $500 on a rental car and $500 on entertainment/souvenirs? For a total of $2,900? Or $2,200 without having to pay for the flight? I’d do that once, and having done that, I’ll never do it again. The free flight would lead me towards spending an additional $2,200 that I wouldn’t have spent; I could travel somewhere else in the country and spend maybe $1,000 while enjoying myself I’m about to take two weeks off and take a trip along the entire length of Historic Route 66.

Have an open line of credit and pay off balance before the month to avoid interest rates. It help break up high bill into 2 payments vs one.

I don’t understand this, just pay your card in full all the time and don’t spend money you don’t have.

[@thomasmichael6509]

They’re great if you use them as debit cards. Never carry a balance, pay them off every month. And then you can reap the benefits of cash back on stuff you have to buy anyhow.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

If you have to pay off a balance each month, then that is not a debit card and cannot be used as one. And what is cash back compared to how much you're repaying on your balance over the course of a year?

[@thomasmichael6509]

@@Musicienne-DAB1995 cash back is often between 2%-4%. I just said you don’t carry a balance to repay, you pay it off every month such that there is zero interest and zero cost beyond the cost of the goods purchased with the card.

[@KatieBellino]

​@@Musicienne-DAB1995It is a debit card at that point. Your "balance" at that point is literally what would have been immediately debited from your account. The math comes out the same if you aren't paying interest.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

@@KatieBellino A credit card is in no way, shape, or form a debit card. The fact remains that you end up bleeding your own personal income to pay back a credit card, only to rack up a balance the following month.

[@KatieBellino]

@@Musicienne-DAB1995 You clearly don't understand the concept of "spending the money either way" on things like groceries and gas. That income is gone no matter what. If you pay back before interest, it is mathematically the same (better actually if you have a cash back credit card).
