    I think the mistake people make is using your credit card before you have the cash in your account. I think the smart thing to do is use your credit card like your debit card. Spend the amount that is available in your bank account and then pay it off right away. Like literally the day of your purchase. You earn points and you don't have to worry about being late or anything.

Boom, you saved some money in your bank.

    Beware VISA has a service called account updater. If you cancel a card and get a new one the service will give your NEW card info to any merchant enrolled in the service. This will be done WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT or knowledge. You will not be notified that it happened but you might have agreed to it in the tiny writing you never read when you set up the account. It is billed as a service to you but since you have to put in your new info anyway when you log on to the merchant site again it is really a way for the merchant to keep its hands in your pocket more easily. Watch closely when you set up accounts for reoccurring billing to make sure you really want it.

      Also, if you ever want to buy a house or a car, a good credit score is something that’s very useful. Paying off your card on time will raise your credit score. Cards also collect free points which accumulate surprisingly fast and they can be used for plane tickets or other purchases. Debit cards charge fees and don’t offer anything else.

      @Emad Ahmed You could use it on what you'd pay for in debit at that time and just pay it off immediately once it is processed to ensure you don't spend over. Also having an emergency fund helps if worse comes to worse and that's the case even without having cc.

    Recently I have been making smaller payments on credit cards a few times per month, before I get notice of my final monthly bill. Then, the amount at the end of the month won't be as large, and I know exactly where I really stand in my checking account as the month goes along. The bonus rewards won't be going away, and they will go right back as a credit to my credit card. I love that. It is like an extra income that's helping me pay the bill.
    I love this video, Dan, thank you! I have never used a debit card for purchases intentionally. Twice, my debit card matched the color of my credit card and I used that accidentally! I try to have two different color cards; one for the credit card, and one for the debit card. Much of the time, I leave my debit card home.

    With Credit Card Yes you can leverage other people's money, but it is short term. You also need to leverage to ensure you are working that money as well rather than spending it on holidays for example.
    Debit card helps you control money if you feel like you are spending out of control on credit card.
    There is no right or wrong, different tools for different people.

    If the benefit of credit cards is to leverage it by not using your money, but the catch it that you pay off your credit card to not accrue interest, are you really borrowing money for any good reason if you're just going to pay it off at the end of the money with your own money?

    Credit cards aren't better than debit cards. Because most people are living paycheck to paycheck and can't really afford to pay that debt off. But with debit cards they pay it off once and thats it. But thats only if they have alot of money in their account. Credit cards are interest eating beasts who don't care about the average consumer and would take advantage of the person who doesn't know how the value of money works and how to earn that money themselves so they wouldn't have to payoff or be in the debt trappings of credit hungry companies.

    About the credit card rewards. There is a reason for that. You're not winning when you're spending a lot extra (which you're likely to do with credit) and then get 1-2% back in the form of bonuses 😂
