How do you even exist without a credit card? LOL ...you have to have one to rent a car of stay the night in a hotel, or purchase an airline ticket.

I think I got my first one in 1970 and then I got two more and used credit the wrong way and I got into debt. Then I went to the bank and worked something out to get out of debt. It was then that I got rid of the other credit cards and kept only one and that's the only one I have had ever since.

@db20747 My parents' paid for my car insurance because they worked and I drove myself to and from school. They insisted I needed a car and to drive as they had to work. I paid for the essentials I needed with online earnings (survey sites then).

Why do you need so many credit cards? I have only one credit card, which I applied for ten years ago. I've been using it until now.

I got my first credit card when I was in high school, I think I was either 16 or 17. It was an American Express card. I had to pay off the balance every month when the bill came in.

@db20747 No way! The made me pay every penny of that bill. If I ever came up short on money when the bill was due, they would loan me the money to pay it, but I had to pay them back with interest. It taught me a valuable lesson about spending, budgeting, and finances in general.

Holy moly! My mother told me to get one after my second son was born to establish my own credit. I did! The perks are wonderful if you pay the balance in full each month.
