I use a credit card for online purchases and occasionally for store transactions. If I am careful, I get nearly 2 months of free credit before I have to settle. I always settle my accounts in full, though, because the interest rates are excessive!Otherwise I will use debit card, cheque or cash depending on convenience.

The interests rates are killing me, and i may even be paying more interests than what i payd to shop. I tend to use credit cards as less as possible now.

Ya they do after a while.
Initially its all good, but eventually no matter how much you pay, its not enough.

They are more convenient to a point, which makes them dangerous, because you think "oh, it's okay, I've got my credit card" and then the bill comes in the mail, and you realize how much money you wasted on useless stuff! I can't say much, though, I have like 4 or 5 credit cards, I never carry cash, and I am going to be paying these credit cards off until I'm like 40 years old!

Credit cards are bad. I have gotten into too much credit card debt in the past. I have only kept one now that is for emergencies only and that is it!! Hopefully I can keep it that way :)
