Follow Dave Ramsey’s 7 baby steps. Pay cash for Christmas and never borrow again.

Only get a credit card for the flyer points and only use it to delay payments of money earning interest in your savings account. It's not much but the interest earned will pay the annual fee and you'll get flyer points so it's a win...win

@@bign1667 Dave Ramsey wont approve this idea… which is understandable as not everyone has the discipline

[@scottmanning4512]

That's exactly what I did a few years ago, don't even have a credit card. If you don't have the money you don't buy it

[@InfinityIsland2203]

I didnt even shop for christmas. I paid it all in skyrocketing rent.

Retail sales figures out this week will ensure RBA won't cut interest rates any time soon! People do realise current high interest rates are not actually "high" and not a bad thing for everyone? 😮

[@davemail66]

This happens every year, they (the retailers) are at people, pushing them to buy, buy, buy things in the lead up to Christmas (including the ridiculous Black Friday sales rot), then there's the Boxing Day sales push at people, post-Christmas and then we find ourselves asking how or why people are constantly up to their eyeballs in credit card debt, seriously! It's like a dog constantly chasing it's tail. The big winners out of all of this are the retails shops themselves and the greedy banks and financial companies.

LOL and now everyone will whinge about cost of living.

[@colinchin2726]

No sympathy from me..if you can’t afford it..just stop buying stuff you don’t need just to please everyone else and send yourself broke

[@Callum.Thomson]

I love the ending when they actually just agree that this another cost-of living crisis clickbate video and most people are actually not struggling..
