I guess credit cards are pretty alright as long as we know how to control our spending mate.

I hate the cards too but I am not going to charge any more on them and am just going to stop using them. Harder said then done, but I need my credit score to either stay put or increase and closing it may hurt my score.

It is really true that you will spend more with a credit card than with cash...<br />I have an Amex Blue Cash card, my husband wants me to use it for food and gas (we get 5% cash back), but I'm sticking with cash. I can SAVE more than 5%...

I just want to add that, in absolutely no way, did I mean for my last comment to sound like I don't support your decision to stop using the card. I think using a credit card or not is a personal decision. And if you notice a history of spending with credit cards that you don't feel comfortable with, I completely agree that you should stop using them.<br /><br />I am getting out of debt of a

I guess that does 'seem' pretty excessive -- when you put it up as one big number. I was raised very anti-credit card when I was growing up. And even though I had a card since early 2000, it was November of last year before I ever used one.<br /><br />In that time, I have only charged $3,185.56 and it was only for things already budgeted for. I really haven't gotten anything back with the

Hate to say it but I will anyway: "I told ya so." Been there, done that, spent too much for stupid rewards. Paying for things directly brings amazing simplicity to dealing with life and money. On top of that there's a new credit card bill (no pun intended) going through Congress that will probably eliminate reward programs completely. The debit card has vastly gained popularity because look at
