I love my credit card as its my emergency life saver for when i am out of cash.its also convenient to be able to pay things without even getting out of the house.
I both love and hate my credit card. I love my credit card because its ease of use and acceptance in most places and if you pay of the balance each month then the fees are low. I also love it when i get caught out with an unexpected bill comes along that i have not allowed for but need to pay. Credit cards make payment while travelling easier and allow for those extra little things to make a holiday special. I also hare my credit card because i sometimes forget it isnt money and actually a loan and buy things i cannot really afford. It is like you have this limit on your card that you make yourself believe is ok to spend even if you cannot pay it off in a month or sometimes even a year. So i believe that credit cards are both good and bad, but believe are necessary and if used wisely can be beneficial to all.
Credit Cards are fantastic yet can also be the root of all evil! They make life easier by being able to pay bills, book flights and accomodation all online or over the phone but can make all that so simple that you charge it to your credit card without actually remembering that you have to pay it all back!
I hate credit cards, because I have seen my mother go broke, hit rock bottom and lose her husband because she had 4 credit cards and maxed them all out. I feel like im the parent and she is the child, having to lend her money and make sure she is okay. A credit card (or four) has stuffed up her life completely and I dont want to see anyone go though that.
If I had a credit card it would be great to have that opportunity to make puchases when items are on sale & make regular payments. You may have to pay a bit of interest but - at least you don't miss out!
I love my credit card because it helps me several times a week when I lock the keys inside the house- it slips into the doorjamb and the lock pops like magic. It spreads glue better than anything else. I can use it to scrape the car rego off the windscreen, and sometimes I even use it in a store when I don't have any cash with me.
i admire my credit card as it feels like a best friend to me, it gives me a helping hand when i need it and i can pay it back bit by bit. it goes everywhere with me and it tells me when enough is enough. thank god for best friends (credit cards)
I just feel if your short of cash their a great way to spend however your never out of debt with them, and paying it back your paying an extremely high interest rate.
I hate my credit cards because its just there to haunt me. Making me wanna buy things that i don't need but just have to have because i have a credit card. but then realise that i do have to pay the credit card off. My life would be easier without it. Then i can go shopping and know how much i have to spend and not go a cent over.
I hate my credit card because it scratches easily and i spend an extra $15 every coupple of months replacing my credit card because the machine will not accept it. It also constantly tells me i have no money left and makes me sad. That is why i hate my credit card.
I thought I’d hit the jack pot, walking out of Harvey Norman with a TV and Playstation without paying a cent...yeh, well guess what :)
Why do I like it because its easy to get the things you want that you don't have the money for in the bank and it's need for online purchases. I hate them because the purchase cant go a bit too much sometimes and and before you know it the repayments can be a little too much
i don't like them, i find its to easy to spend and make purchases that you haven't really put any thought into.you can get court in a trap ,the interest is too high and will take you for ever to pay it off. i know its not all negative but i myself have become victim to the fantastic plastic
