It doesn’t really matter which way you pay for something, the important thing is weather or not you have the money saved up for it or are you buying it on credit and then paying more in interest.

It’s totally true. Impulsive buying and credit cards definitely don’t go unless you’re trying to climb all the way to the top of the highest debt ladder. But it’s also true that credit cards can have their advantages as well. If you can handle it who wouldn’t want some little bonus rewards?

@Roger
Cash and Credit Cards are just tools to accomplish a goal.

But with any power tool, some financial tools require more care than others, such is the case with credit cards.

Not a bad summary of the pros and cons of credit card and cash use. Too many people tend to favor one type of payment exclusively, believing that their favored method is the best, without looking at the pros and cons of both.

[...] Money Reasons wrote an interesting article on things you should consider before using credit card. By his standards, I should have a green light. The theory is, if you can control your spending and have your consumer debts paid, the payment method doesn’t matter much. [...]

Me too, I wonder if they really call us deadbeats, or if someone started that rumor…

Either way, it’s a great way to do it!

I will use my credit card every time but then I always pay my balance. I guess I am what the credit card companies call a dead beat.

Ah, good point! Another great reason to go with credit cards.

I wrote this article because I have friends that cut up there credit cards (except for 1 emergency one that’s in the freezer, wrapped in plastic).

I use my credit card for as many purchase as possible. And I will continue to do so as long as they don’t start charging too many bogus fees.

Have a GREAT trip!!! It sounds wonderful!

Hopefully in a 2 or 3 years we’ll get to go down there on vacation too.

So far, I’m the only one in my family that hasn’t been there…
