You know, when I was a kid, my family would refer to me as a Black Jew because even at a young age, I knew the power of a dollar. I don't think then my family knew that this could been seen as racist. I'm much older now and I'm still responsible with my money. If you want to refer to me now as a Black Jew, I'll wear it with pride because what you're saying is I'm not frivolous with my money. I don't want to spend any more of my money than I have to!

When I was a teacher the head of year announced a "bank visit" to a crowd of 11 year olds. A bank rep got them up on stage and gave each one a $20 credit card. As with most drug dealers the first one is always free. I was appalled, especially as I like many other consumers had in previous years dug my way out from under a rigged card. I taught simple compound interest to my tutor group and was threatened by the school. At the end of the year, I resigned and left them to it. It's taught in schools alright - badly.

If you use CC for all purchases with the following rules 1) not buy anything you do not need - purchase you would have made anyway 2) pay the full balance using autopay. The amount of rebates of 2 to 5% and promos are substantial and yours to keep. If you cannot adhere to those 2 rules CC's are not for you, you are best off using a Debit card.

I appreciate Igor taking the time to explain this. That being said, I feel this is salient advice for folks who lack self-control or simply don't understand how to use debt. Without debt I wouldn't have a mortgage where the price for my home is pretty much static; I'd still be renting and be at the whim of the rental market and whatever my landlord thought would be acceptable to pay for housing. Without debt I wouldn't have been able to fix issues in my house - my house has already appreciated more than the debt I took out to fix it (and the fully amortized cost), and the interest rate/monthly cost is very low. Debt is useful, if you know how to use it and are careful.

US is funny in terms of credit. Lived there three times for up to 4 years at a time. Remember walking to Macy's and they would literally ALWAYS ask if I had a Macy's credit card yet. I said no. Then they'd ask if I wanted one, how much I was making etc. When they heard the number, they got into filling the application. Me, well, I got like 40% off my purchase for filing the application. Next it got declined. Why? Cause I had a trash credit score. Why? Cause I had tons of money and no debt. No US credit cards either, only debit cards. Had some issues buying two expensive cards at the same time with cash. In the end, it worked out ok. Saving thousands in Macy's discounts. Got a pre approved credit card in the mail literally every month. Never used one of them. My credit score still sucks in the US, cause I had money and never any debt 🤯🤣🙃

"Poison wrapped in honey"... That's a mighty good way to put it. I'm so glad my wife and I avoided the debt trap. We did the normal home mortgage / car loan thing. But a modest house and car. But we largely avoided any other debt and we've been debt free other than the mortgage for about 15 years and totally debt free for 10 years. It's not that we were that smart, but we have lived frugally and understood that every dollar can only be spent once and a dollar put on the card is going to cost more than a dollar to pay off. Last car we bought was 10 years ago now and we paid cash. Hopefully we never need to borrow again.

Debt can be good! In the highest level of financial proficiency, loans are also a part of a successful life. - I have a mortgage on a good house in a good place, not too much house for our needs. It is still appreciating higher than the loan interest and also I have the peace of mind that I live in my own home, I can knock down a wall if I wanted to, etc... - I have a large loan when I had my kitchen re-done. Due to inflation, if I had to do that today, it would cost me twice as much - also, it's a zero-interest loan!

Only 47% of CC holders are carrying a balance from month to month, the rest are benefiting with the convenience of CC swiping and rewards. You say there is no emotional response to swiping a CC, but as someone who pays off the CC each month, i can say i feel the emotions of upcoming expenses like all the food costs on an upcoming trip before even arriving. I think some people are impulsive and some are not, and some are in between. The CC is a tool that is bad for the impulsive but perfectly useful for those who are planners.

Im in the same camp as you, but around every 10 years (like the stock market) things get hairy where by u lose your job, someone has a health issues, many things at once. And since u have great credit, you tap the 0 apr offers and you have every intention to pay off before maturity, and many times you can get away with transferring to another Cc before expiration also for 0 apr. but there is always a fee 3-5% on 30-50k etc is far from free. You just look the other same and write it off as who else can u borrow at 0% apr from for as low as 3-5% one time fee. But in a bad case you run out of offers to keep moving it around, things dont pick up for you in time, and you get slap with prior years taxes due, now your borrowing more on CC at zero percent, but you need to pay that fee and now your juggling to large amounts of borrowed credit. It happens to the best. It is a predatory system. They get paid in every direction imaginable.

Adam Smith wrote "read, write and account" multiple times in Wealth of Nations. But why hasn't accounting/finance been mandatory in high schools for Gen-Z? Why not for their parents? Why not for their grandparents? Instead we have had 70 years of television brainwashed consumerism. Did John Maynard Keynes ever see a television commercial for automobiles? Try finding an economist who talks about the depreciation of durable consumer goods. But Karl Marx used the word 'depreciation' 35 times in the first two volumes of his major work. Planned obsolescence consumerism is a high technology form of slavery.

If you have zero credit cards you have a bad credit score and cannot live a functioning adult life. That's the thing that no one talks about. In order to have a credit score to buy things like a house or a car you must have a credit card and not use labor income. The whole system is a racket

What I learned from home mortgage / car loan. Never amortize over 20 years. Amortize less than 20 if possible. Look for terms that allow you to pay a high percentage off every year. You will pay your mortgage off much faster. If you get a raise or extra income, slap it on the mortgage. We paid ours off in record time. Also, if you have to borrow money for a car, take the loan over no more than 2 years. If you can't manage that payment, then the car is too expensive.

Credit cards have never trapped me, for one simple reason: I can do math, and consider a spent dollar to be a spent dollar. Grandparents who survived the Great Depression by not having taken bank loans, raised me like that. But there’s no escaping the conundrum of rents that inflate themselves until they exceed net income. I hate to call the USA a failed state, but this corporate predation and dumbing down the public is clearly a situation incompatible with democracy.

Yep. I see paying 2% a month to rent quick cash can be a great deal for many special situations. I've done it when I was just starting out in life. Same as a renting a u-haul, mixer, cherry picker or whatever. My bank cards have always followed our contract and in a few cases exceeded it! In two cases, while I was responsible for $25 of losses due to theft, but they covered me so I was out nothing. In another I was late and they charged me a fee but I called them and they were happy to reverse it---above and beyond!

My generation is really struggling, and I think many of them have just given up, thinking they can just keep using the cards and just file bankruptcy later. Honestly, I would call the US a failed state. I see commercials where you can donate to feed a child in some other country for a dollar a day, yet we can't even come close to that here. The dollar is worthless in our own country, but valuable somewhere else.........

Fun fact the US is not a failed state. It's a failed corporation

Credit cards are a great tool if you can internalize what they are and how they work. I learned the hard way when I was younger but glad I did not get into too much debt (just enough to learn my lesson).
