What DO you do after you’re debt free? ‘New’ credit is the same as ‘no’ . So what do you do?

Anyone????

I’ve been reading your blog for the last few months, and I’ve always thought you were against debt, not just credit cards. I love the site: it’s a great inspiration and full of practical tips to those of us just starting out. Please keep up the good work!

I can understand feeling the need to clarify your feelings on the issue. I however don’t see it as an issue. I love the title of your blog because I think it’s catchy and covers more than just credit cards. I like your fresh writing style and your honesty. Keep up the good work.

Oh, and wanted to share this with you, we are still in the midst of paying off CC dept. We have a card we got a great rate on which we moved debt over onto. The rate is good until we pay it off. However, CC company just sent out new updates, payment went from 2% to 5%! What a jump and there are also new rules on how and why they can now close your account. Pretty much carte blanche.

I enjoy your blog, and will continue to read it.

Personally, I use credit cards for just about everything. However, I always Always ALWAYS pay the bill in full every month. For my effort, I get a few hundred dollars in “rewards” each year. Other than this “float”, my family lives debt-free. We do this for the convenience and the rewards.

Maybe you can re-brand as “No Debt Needed”?

NCN – Remember that your site is a constant reminder and cheerleader for folks like myself who are still struggling to get out of consumer debt. (38% down!)

Don’t let journalists try to polarize you into extreme positions you don’t have. You’re not a hypocrite at all. Throughout your writing on this site, I never got the impression that you thought credit was bad to have. The message is more that it’s better not to use credit if you can, and the ‘If You Can’ is self-driven by wise financial management.

I’ll always keep reading!

I want to thank all of your for the positive comments. I can now put this (what appears, in hindsight, to be a minor) issue behind me, and get on with my writing. Thanks!
