this country's economy is fuelled by credit.

I am avoiding all store cards, credit cards, and any other type of credit cards.
They only lead to more spending of money you dont have so if people steered clear of them, I'm sure we'd all be better off.

Credit cards are really an essential for the extra protection they can give when making purchases. You just have to be intelligent with their use and make sure that you only use them to make purches where you know you can repay the full amount by the due date.

Credit Cards are useful, accepted more places, offer protection, and so on. I just use it then pay it off ever week.

Re: Britons in debt to the tune of £1.13 trillion
 

We will get to a situation where there will be no cash left in the ecomomy, it will all be swallowed up by the plastic spending culture the UK has become. With so many credit cards on the market people use one to pay the other one off, people also draw cash on them to pay their other credit card bills, thats the spiral into debt.
