I think that makes you a stupid person. You have to build good credit if you want to buy a car, or a house, or rent an apartment. An easy way to do that is to get a credit card and pay it off in full every month. If you find that you can't pay it off every single time, you're abusing the card and need to adjust how you use it. Simple.
Just a question, if I buy something for a dollar every month and pay my credit card in time, will that give me an excellent credit rating? Would be simple indeed!

You can get in debt with debit cards JB, if you have an overdraft. and they do put interest on that.
No credit (not old enough), No debit (same reasoning). cash all the way baby.

I currently have 2 credit cards, one of which I make nearly all my purchases on (though it's always backed up from my checking account so I'm never in debt), and one which I never use and should cancel. I'm looking to maybe get a different one though...

If you live in an area where people get robbed a lot, a credit card might be safer. You can always call the credit card company, unless they bash your teeth in, but your cash is gone!

Yes that is true Lardmeister but I would rather have cash stolen then to be a victim of identity theft.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Facts are meaningless. They can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.
