It's because I have not been able to find work. I just usually earn online and just stay at home most of the time. So I have no experience myself owning a credit card. But I have my own debit card. I actually love debit card. There is no pressure to keep buying things as you have only the amount you have put it saves yourself. There is n credit options on the debit card. I don't feel sad not having a credit card. I am actually very not having a credit card because I think that credit card is just a pain Or problem in life

Credit card has an advantage and disadvantage. If you can control your self for over spending it, you will not have a problem. It is always depends in your self control. Anyway, it's a good thing that you don't own a card because you have no stable job. I hope you could find a job sooner.

Even for those who have work, credit cards are not good. They will only give you problems and est up your income.

Since you have said that you have no stable earnings at present, I think applying for a credit card would be difficult. I don't know how credit card application are processed in order for one to be qualified. But since it's a credit ( debt in literal term that should be paid in a given time), the credit holder must have the capacity to pay at demand and with interest if any. So it would be a problem if you can not pay.

I think it's better if you don't have a credit card because it would just give you much problem. Debit card can also be used with other transactions including online. Have a great day!

My husband has a credit card, but we only use it in emergency situations. I think that credit cards can create many problems for you if you use them too much and forget how much you have spent. On the other hand I think that it is nice to be able to use the credit card in emergency situations for instance if you suddenly get a toothache and don't have enough money on your debit card to pay for a visit to the dentist. In situations like that we use the credit card. The rest of the time we only use our debit cards because when we use those cards we aren't able to spend more than we have.

I do not like credit cards either, but I know I will eventually need one if I want to buy a house of my own. I know they can be tempting, but they do sometimes come in handy in case of an emergency.

I am 42 years old and have never had a credit card nor wanted one. I think they are nothing, but a giant headache. I have no debit (other than my monthly bills like electric, heat etc), and have a lot less stress and headaches than the large majority of people I know. If i don't have the cash on hand to but something than I'm out of lucky, and I'm great with that.

It's a good thing not having a credit card which could be a very tempting means of overspending and get yourself in trouble of being buried deep in debt.

having a credit card can be very helpful but it should be use in a correct way because if you abuse your credit card you may find yourself one day full of debt.. i also don't have credit card since for me i don't think i need it for now.. just to be safe from debts i must admit that i am a shopaholic and if i have credit card i might not stop from buying things..
