- Locke1689 14y agoI've never paid a dime to my credit card companies.
- goatforce5 14y agoMy credit card company paid $800 towards the airfare of my recent trip to Oz thanks to reward points. I pay my card off multiple times per month. They don't get a chance to charge me interest. (Just checked and I have $300 worth of points waiting to be spent on travel. That's my upcoming Boston trip covered.)
- crikli 14y agoIf a purchase requires you to borrow money, seriously ask yourself if you need to make the purchase. Could you (the royal you) buy a cheaper car, borrowing less or paying cash? Could you sustain another year in your current living situation? The problem with debt-financed purchasing is that while it expands short-term options if not managed properly it can severely limit long-term options.
