I do.. its called pay it every month on time..

i too am wondering about that. anyone care to explain how if you pay your bill every month that charging food on your card is a bad idea? (especially if you get things like cash back)

basically, if you're paying for food with a credit card, then you don't have the money for it. starts off with food and gets progressively worse. credit cards. rofl.

but hey, i can understand that it's the American way, so have at it.

Untrue.. i could easily go out to my ATM and get cash.. but problem is, i dont like carrying cash.. thus i use a Credit Card for all transactions.. and i treat it like a check book.. i mark down everything i spend to make sure im not over what i can afford..

Simple..

I like to use cash BECAUSE I'VE GOT FUCKING LOADS OF IT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*whoops*

why do that when you can just use a Debit card with a Visa logo? i don't carry much cash with me most of the time so when i do purchase something i know it's paid for and don't have to worry about possible pending interests or a forthcoming bill. what you're doing is basically procrastination.

Why not just get a Debit Card? Although I suppose your method's so unnecessarily complicated, it almost feels like working for a living...

HOLY SHIT SYNCHRONICITY

hey. that was a good album.

That's what I do. During the working week, I take cash with me but on the weekends I mainly use the debit card.

Have one of those as well.. *shrug i dunno, i just prefer the credit card..

In the UK, we call BMW's beemers.

Yeah but I'm middle class so I have to stick an extra "a" in so it sounds more posher

Beemers have two wheels, not four. It's not a rule, just slang that dates back to BMW's early days in motorcycle racing, just like their main competitor's (BSA) bikes were named Beesers... BMW's on four wheels are Bimmers.

yar that, and the M6 is drop dead sexy.

ah ok. so basically it just builds bad habits, but isnt bad in itself.

yeah. credit cards are bad news in the hands of most people. fact.

I do the same. I almost never cary cash. I find I actually spend more money if I have cash than if I use the CC. I don't know how the hell people have a hard time with CCs. It's just an illustration of their stupidity. What, you think it's free because it doesn't come out of your account for a few weeks? :icon27:

Plus, my credit card has something like $2,500 limit now, and keeps rising (I assume in part because I use it, though I rarely have more than $350-400 on it in a month) which always helps the credit report.

Oh yeah, and I meant to ask:
Does it really have catsup/catchup/ketchup/etc & mustard? That's fucking gross...

No it dont..

and yeah, if i have cash, its gone, instantly.. with CCs i think about my spending at least

I'll have to try some.

So...it's just a cheese pizza with ground meat on it? Yeah, I'll be sure to avoid that, thx.

not just ground meat, psyche, but BURGER meat. with cheese.
