Well done BC the way things are moving credit cards are the very last thing we need.
I have never had one.
Experience of never having had very much as a young mother taught me that cash is a wonderful thing...... you learn to be good with it don't you?
I hope we all survive this next couple of financial years... ;-0)

I have a card left but do not have a cheque book or a debit card. Everything is cash. Amazing what discount you get when waving a fist full of 20s about.

Yeah I save up, if I cannot afford it I save up till I do

Sharron, I have to say I have never saved up for anything! I am the worlds worst where money is concerned. But I am very good at paying back what I owe. BC XX

I paid off my last credit card last week by using my cash ISA.

The interest I was paying was enormous compared to the amount I was accruing.

Now the money I was using to pay the credit card each month can go into the ISA instead.

Does anybody else remember saving up for things?

at how many I have! I was given a lovely present today (a nice fat cheque), and was dreaming of a new TV, bunkbeds for the grandchildren, a nice holiday, etc....BUT I decided to pay off my credit cards. I feel very virtuous now as I have cut up FOUR and now only have one:-) ...*gulps....how did that happen then? lol BC XX
