Comments on: Living Off of Your Credit Cards http://womantribune.com/living-credit-cards Women's Lifestyle, Entertainment & News Thu, 24 May 2012 04:38:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Brianna http://womantribune.com/living-credit-cards/comment-page-1#comment-51916 Brianna Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:25:10 +0000 http://womantribune.com/?p=1463#comment-51916 I completely understand where Holly is "coming from," as they say. I used credit in order to survive a time when I did not qualify for unemployment insurance or foodstamps. My credit card allowed me to "buy time" until I could secure a stable employment situation. People think that it's noble to stay away from credit but unless money is regularly coming in, don't shred your credit card. If your house or trailer is owned out right and you use alternative forms of energy for heat and light, you might be able to survive with growing a garden or raising chickens and such. Otherwise, one must make money, move in with friends or relatives, sell off possessions, AND use credit in some form. I completely understand where Holly is “coming from,” as they say.

I finally had to shred it and take notice of ways to save money to pay for things in cash. It's a big adjustment. I use to live off credit cards.

When using credit cards you can't monitor your account unless you will receive your bill. In using money you can monitor your expenses and can control what you will purchase for. If I will choose either money or credit cards I will prefer to use money in purchasing a product. Why? because I can control what should I buy.

I can be devastating to get in over your head on credit card bills. The interest payments are so high that many people are finding that they will never get out from under the crushing debt. It is happening more and more to many younger individuals who don't really know the consequences of their spending. Nice article Holly.

I've seen that the rate on the credit card and on the special borrowing are different! So...if you really want something, maby be you can go to bank and talk about reducing of the rate?

Here in Hong Kong, there are many offers that are best availed when using credit cards such as dining in restaurants or making purchases at certain shops. But unless these offers aren't available, spending cash still helps us check our spending better.
