Here, what we name "credit cards" or "blue cards" are, BTW, just payment cards. If you do not have the money on your account, you cannot pay with it.

That's the first thing I'm going to get rid of upon graduation, but until then I'm just trying to limit any other kinds of debt while going to school full time. That makes me very frugal.

I always assumed that some debt was good debt. I know you mentioned those of us on OPM, but I would love to use other people's money (OPM) to make money. I don't see the harm in that, as long as you aren't harmed by the interest. When it comes to everyday purchases, I pay cash though. I would never finance something like clothes or a new TV. You could end up paying double or even triple for the item.

Conscious of what I had going out and coming in. Kept only a single card for everything. Never paid a penny in interest on it in my life. I find it strange that if some people are given a credit card they will just buy whatever with it.
