Is Credit Worth It? email this discussion to a friend?

Sure it is nice to be able to swipe a card and get all the things we want or need.But is using credit cards really worth it?

Paying only the minimum payment will almost double the orginal amount you owe.

Do we really need things as bad as we think we do?

Credit cards are only worth it if you plan on paying them off before you are changed interest to use them. I use a home depot credit card to get the no interest for 12 months and pay it off before that time. It comes in real handy when buying big items like a dishwasher. It is worth it to me when I don't have the cash for a broken item that needs replaced.

You could not have said it better! I think some people think they CAN afford things they really can't because the little plastic card gives them power.Power they do not need! I think credit cards are great,as long as you do not go overboard!

Credit cards have gotten me in so much trouble.. WHile I am trying to pay off my credit cards I will now only use cash. They helped me out when my husband lost his job and the only way to pay the bills and put food on the table was with my credit cards but now that we are back on track paying these cards off have been very difficult to do.. I say if possible stay away from them

There are certain times when situations arrive and one is thankful for the cards no matter how much they would havee to repay,and I can understand that 100%.
I have gotten in trouble with credit cards myseld.I know I am not responsible enough to have one,so I use the prepaid ones now.(Plus my credit is not so good).
It is so easy to get in debt and so hard to get out.
I hope it all works out for the best for you and your family.

I only have one credit card and it has a fairly low limit. I've never gone over my limit, I always pay off a lot more than the minimum payment, I just use it sort of as a cash advance when I'm waiting for funds to clear into my account, and lately to juggle bills as I can't afford to pay them all straight away. I don't like being in debt but as long as I'm in control of the card, and not the other way round, its ok.

It is great you are able to stay within your limit and pat more.So many people think they will be able to pay it off and things happen and ruin their credit.Like me! I am better off without a credit card.

I stay away from credit cards because i hate paying all that interest. I would rather save and pay cash for something that i need or want.


myLot reputation of 89/100. erikmama (2006)   ranked 1,034 out of 38,396 in life  1 month ago

I know! Something like lay a way is much better,even putting the money into a savings account .Imagine outting the interest you would pay into a savings account.You would have the item in not time!I think a credit card is just as bad as going to a rent to own place or something.It is crazy.My credit was messed up with them!

I seriously think all credit cards should be torn up then people can't use them anymore. They have to of course pay off the balance but they are not allowed to be used anymore. The world has gone back to cash only all credit cards are gone for good. Wouldn't that be great. If you don't have the money you can't buy it, Period! Then people would not continue to live above their means.
