yeah, if you dont know how to use them, then they are not for you. Credit cards are great if used correctlyOriginally Posted by NEMO
cash is betterOriginally Posted by btstone
.... just sayin
why not spend the cash when you know you have itOriginally Posted by Evil Goat
. save for what you want. makes life a lot easier
you apparently arent a homeowner or do you own a new car..no offense.Originally Posted by NEMO
but saving is great....to an extent
if i save up 30k to buy a car, why would i spend all my liquid cash when someone will lend me the money![]()
Negative. Trying to keep up with all that cash and change isn't as easy as having one piece of plastic with you all the time.Originally Posted by NEMO
Also, most credit cards have rewards for using them. So if I spend $500 a month on my credit card....I could just tote the cash around with me all the time (which is likely to get lost or stolen) and at the end of the month pay $500. Or I could charge the $500 each month, pay it electronically when the bill comes, and receive reward points for $500 of the card useage every month.
I recently looked up my reward points on my credit card, and I could have gotten a Blu Ray DVD player, a golf club, and several other things. I ended up getting a couple $100 gift cards instead....and this is all on a card I pay off every single month (meaning it literally costs me $0 to use).

why do you need credit when you buy everything with cash?Originally Posted by bowdown201

Because if you have a credit card, you can use the card, and put the cash you have somewhere to make interest and just pay the bill at the end of the month. I mean if you know how to work a card, its good.Originally Posted by NEMO

Thing is, credit cards are completely awesome. In fact, some things you CAN'T buy without them (like a hotel room). They make online purchases (which typically save you money) much easier, without having to pay Paypal or Money Order fees.
But if they REASON you are buying a credit card is an effort to "fix" a financial problem or buy more than you have the cash to purchase, it will certainly f' your financial world up.

Nemo.. i understand where you are coming from. and i have alos heard ramsey talk....you have a lot to learn. ramsey has a ton of money and i know for a fact he uses credit cards. please odnt buy into his bullshit
was it ramsey or clark howard that did the never spend a dollar bill thing?
either way, to be honest, i tried it for a year and saved a shit ton of money
either way credit cards are a must nowadays, being mindful of your spending is the problem, i know a few people that are 20-30K + in credit card debt, not to mention a house, two new cars, etc etc, sure they have nice shit, but they wonder how theyre going to put gas in their cars each week

As a business owner credit is a great thing to have. Businesses have to purchase inventory. Sometimes, you dont want to be cash strapped and burn all your capital on inventory. So you put it on a credit card with a low interest rate.
AS long as your inventory turn over rate is decent, usually you can make enough money to avoid the finance charges, or pay it off fast.
I routinely charge and use my credit card for my business. It helps keep me liquid so i have opportunities to invest in other assets or ideas.

man i may just go buy one,,,lol
why would i spend my liquid money to buy something when someone would loan it to me. no one who owns a business would do that. you must stay as liquid as possible. buying power is the name of the game
Eh, I don't like debt...I paid cash for all the crap I own.

i owe on my house and my vette. if i had spent all my money on those two items. there would be no money to fix the the s2ks expensive ass parts. or to go out and buy nice ass clothes. i think my decisions were wise
theres nothing wrong with using credit. I mean if you are well off enough to be able to buy a $30,000-60000 car on cash alone, then you prob are smart enough to know how to use credit.
The problem is people make $20,000 a year and want to finance a $60,000 car.

General idea is a car should cost half of your annual income... at most.

well and dont be stupid. I recently bought a $700 watch, now the place i bought it from, they said "if you sign up for our credit card and get approved you get 55% off".
I said sure. I got approved and i got the watch for $360ish with tax.
I got the card in the mail today and the APR is 19%. Needless to say, i paid it off today. Now i had cash to buy the watch anyway, but why not save the extra money. Now if i just paid the $25 minimum payment, that watch would end up costing me A LOT MORE.
Its like new cars, if you dont own your own house , i wouldnt buy a $30,000 car. If you dont live on your own, i wouldnt buy a $30,000 car. Be cognizant of the interest rate, and the over all payments.
With a business, theres no way i could operate without using credit. I spend $20,000 -$30,000 on inventory every 2-3 months. In the beginning i spent out of my pocket, and i ate ramen noodles until i moved some inventory and made some profit. Now, i can afford to charge that amount, and pay it off very quickly and not have to worry about finance charges or anything like that. My CC has a 4% APR. This gives me the freedom to be able to purchase more than 1 item , make multiple investments, etc rather than deplete my entire cash reserves

Any successful business owner, or most anyone that is a self made, will tell you the way to get ahead is with opm, other people's money.
In a business, yes use other peoples money as much as often. In your own personal finances, pay cash and stay away from high interest CC when possible. Even though you pay the credit card everymonth, you still pay interest on what you bought that month. Interest normally accumalates daily, not monthly.

Its interest free if you pay it off completely every month.Originally Posted by Hunter02SS

Huh? LOL. Roth's are great if that is ONE of your means of saving for retirement, but if you save your money in a bank you'll never make anything off it. I earned 18% on my 401k last quarter since I have it allocated so aggressively. Young folks can afford to do that though.Originally Posted by bowdown201
