yeah I know. I'm good on the car. My grandpa past away and left me his car. has 20,000 miles on it. should last a long time.
Also my sons mom (my girlfriend) owns her house, and this is where I live. So far I haven't needed a credit card yet.

Domdabears, are you a vet? Fifth Third has an excellent vets acct that charges no fees(so far) free checks and accts, never pay a fee at any ATM, low interest credit card with zero fees, I pay it off every month so have yet to pay interest. So far they have hooked me and my family up.

and if the Pricing and COLA in the country were actually realistic, we wouldnt need credit but for rare instances. any one else remember when medical care was actually affordable before it was turned into for profit companies.

You might want to apply for a gas card or department store charge card first. Use one a few times a year and pay it off that month you get a statement. I would suggest you avoid secured credit cards where you put up the money for your credit line. Once you have any card try not to cancel it just keep a zero balance and suggest you avoid any card with a yearly fee. Having one or more cards isn't a bad thing. One last suggestion is to get a debit or check card if you choose to have plastic and don't want a credit or charge card.

A bad thing for you? Not entirely. A debt free life has a charm all its own.

It won't help when it comes time to get a home loan or car loan though.

I'm 28, soon to be 29 and have never owned a credit card.
Most say that's a bad thing.

yeah Gold standard.

Truth is, till products are priced reasonably and the whole Credit system is done away with the US economy will keep staggering on with mini recessions and Depressions. to full blown recessions and depressions.

on average a third to a half of what is claimed as Profit by major corporations is Credit, money that they are owed. but has not been collected. but this bit of legal fiction keeps their stock prices up while trading.

truth is if prices were closer to what the products cost to make and ship, and closer to what people could actually afford, there would not be a need for a huge credit industry.

I remember, feel old saying that LOL, when a person with a credit card was a rarity.

[Domdabears]

Yeah, everyone says the dollar could collapse.
Forbes put out that with in 5 years we will be going back to the gold standard.
