    Credit is not your friend. Don’t be a moron.

    credit/interest = the opposite of saving.

    If you want less tomorrow, use credit today.

    It is perfectly true. Most Americans have the habit of spending more and earning less. No economy can sustain such lavish life styles. This is one big reason of rich becoming richer and poor becoming poorer. The credit cards are pretty much like casinos, who bet on the maximum debt on an individual.

    We do not need to borrow to live.

    Borrowing keeps the

    money controllers rich.

    A bad credit rating can be good.

    Do not borrow. Save and then buy.

    Including your first home.

    Build your home yourself. I did.

    Look what debt as done to our

    country.
