This includes emergencies, purchases made while traveling, and Internet shopping, simply because it's next to impossible to buy anything off the Web without charging it. I never use credit cards for daily necessities, entertainment, or recurring bills. That's what checks and cash are for.

They shouldnt be allowed to offer credit to those who obviously dont have the means to pay back what they borrow. Banks and credit companies need sorting out.

Oh, I paid my way out and learned my lesson. Didn't have another card for years. A few years ago, got a pretty good deal on a MC, and I have been fastidious about not using it much, and making substantial payments on the balance that is there, which isn't that much. I've got one store card, as well, but I pay that off as I go. So between my wife and I, we're stashing a lot of cash in savings and our 401(k)s. One of the best blogs I've found on the subject of money, with lots of great stuff on getting out of debt and into the black, is www.getrichslowly.org.
