    It's a general statement. But yes what happens when a opportunity arrises I'm those 2 years to invest I'm something and you don't have the money cause you bought your tv?

    By buying in cash you save $280 over 2 years or $11 a month. I'd rather pay an extra $11 a month, build credit, and keep my cash to me to spend on somethig worthwhile

    this is common sense. You use opm "other peoples money" as long as the interest rate is low.

    I bought my citizen watch from belk 6 months ago. It was $700, but if I opened a credit account with them I would get 55% off. So I did it. I was approved and got my watch for a little over $350 with tax. First bill for the credit card I noticed the interest rate was 27%. if I paid the minimum payment I think the watch would have cost me a little over $1000. That was retarded so I paid it off right then. Most people would just pay the $12 minimum balance and that's wrong.

    This movement about staying completely out of debt and convincing people credit is bad is retarded and wrong. Just be smart enough to know how to use it.

    the only thing anyone should finance is a house and no more then 15 years, I have nothing against a good credit score and yes you can save some money on some things when you open a new account ect. but thats just a hook to get you on a credit plan that most people never pay off.

    I haven't financed anything seince 2000 and its been the best move of my life, There is nothing worse then being in debt, and having payments every month.
