If you paid off your balance in full you would only gain the points and not pay the interest, and there's definitely some benefits to be had there.<BR/>It would take self-discipline and one nice thing about cash is, when you're out, you're out. But if you can control your spending more power to you!Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177951271694721032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455118203865443083.post-50013909329444689512008-05-07T17:27:00.000-07:002008-05-07T17:27:00.000-07:00Thanks for the Global Giving tip, I used it for a ...Thanks for the Global Giving tip, I used it for a gift to my mom for Mother's Day.<BR/><BR/>I'm down with what you're saying in the post, except for the last point of paying for things in cash. Financially it's better to pay for day-to-day things with credit for two reasons: 1) This allows you to keep your money in an account that accumulates wealth (ie interest) during the month while you pay with credit; 2) Rewards cards (some don't even have fees) give you access to free things simply by spending the money you have to spend anyway.<BR/><BR/>This is all said, of course, with the caveat that monthly credit cards are paid off in full each month. If that one piece of criteria is met then it's free money to use credit cards (the interest + rewards).Oregoncornhuskerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265182278789290617noreply@blogger.com
