Empowering Freeper Financial Freedom, one Freeper at a time, Dave Ramsey ping!
Because CC's are a tool, just like anything else. OK, so long as they're used responsibly.
They're a lot more convenient for me than walking around with a stack of 100's in my pocket, every time I go shopping. For instance, this past weekend, Mrs WBill and I caught dinner and a movie. I also bought a new lawnmower (my 12-year-old one met a large hidden rock and suffered a sudden and inglorous demise), some other stuff at the hardware store, groceries, and a fillup at the pump. I'd have needed a pile of cash to take of everything ... or I swipe my card a few times and pay it all off on the 15th. Easy Peasy.
