But I have to agree with the points that you made. It’s unusual to read an article that talks about the good uses of credit cards. But I have to agree with the points that you made.

Keep up the great posts. BTW, getting into a large amount of debt is a nightmare and I learned it the hard way. I've since then almost paid up all of my debt though and wrote about it at http://HowToGetRidOfCreditCardDebt.org Yup, you hit the nail right on its head and told it as it is.

You are right, we need to be accountable for every dollar spent. Although credit cards are good to have for emergencies I would still recommend having a cash emergency fund that you can use of at least $1000 and up to 6 months of your living expenses. Dave Ramsey's The Total Money Makeover is a good book to read on the subject. Cheers, Jeremy Hi Ross,

They are really important as a "back up" last resort for emergencies, and the real problem is mismanagement rather than not needing them. I'm putting my hand up here also for being guilty of mis-managing credit cards, but I totally agree with your post.
