    Really the only good thing about credit cards is it helps raise your credit score. I only use them for that to be able to get a decent apr on a loan.Otherwise i would never use them.

      There are more benefits to credit cards, but if you don’t pay them off every month pretty much all pros are massively outweighed by the cons.

        True there are more. I just typically dont use it otherwise i would rack up more debt. Using my debit card is the best way for me to track my finances.

      You gotta find a good one that gives travel rewards or something. We’ve had a few vacations with free flights because of ours. Of course you should only spend what you can pay off in a month but it still adds up
