No I'm saying if you couldn't afford to make the necessary payments and it was such a burden that now you pay cash youused it wrong.

I charge $15000-20000 on my business credit card for product which has a 5% apr.

If I paid cash I would tie up my liquidity and have to live off credit all for what ? $750? ($15000*1.05). That if I take a year to pay it off. I usually pay it off in 2-3 months.

But the difference is now I have a record and get extended lines of credit , paying cash for everything good luck with financing.

I guess you guys think if you have enough cash you can get financing with a big enough down payment. That's just dumb IMO. The median family income is $55000 a year. After mortgage, car payment, insurance, groceries , utilities, etc there isn't much left over. So you can forget a $20000-30000 down payment on a house or $10000-15000 down on a car etc.

Not going to happen.

Instead if they live smartly on a budget and don't go crazy they can pay a little interest and finance what they want and have extra money to put into other assets.

This notion of never using credit is wrong. Sorry fellas
