I don't know whether it is a habit, or those people just ignorance. They should know, there is no free lunch. The money you borrow from credit card, you have to pay for it plus interest. Some people I knew, they simply apply one after another credit card, and max it out without any remorse. Is that a ingenious habit that can not be changed or what? Those people should need some sort of financial education classes.

I really wonder why some people do that. That is some sort of a free lunch when it is not. We try not to max our credit cards. Credit cards charged an additional fee for maxing out your credit card limit. We try to pay them on due date so as not to incur charges. I think it is but proper to pay for your purchases. As much as possible it is wiser to pay for your purchases on cash basis so you wouldn’t have any problems incurring debt. Sometimes you would find yourself in deep debt that sometimes you can't just get out of it.

king, my cousin almost had a cardiac arrest when he saw the credit card bill that his wife accumulated for Christmas gifts alone.
