Only Idiots Use Debit Cards -- Why CREDIT IS BETTER*
Jon shares some financial advice as to why credit cards are (usually) better than their debit counterparts for four main reasons:
1) Credit is safer;
2) They build your credit history;
3) They're required for special purchases like car rentals, and
4) they earn you points and cash-back rewards.
Obviously, this entire argument is based on the assumption that you maintain RESPONSIBLE spending habits! The high interest-rate credit cards only applies if you carry a balance month-over-month. If you pay it off before your next statement (so, at least 30 days more time than you'd get with a debit card) - you'll never 'pay extra'. Also, this discussion is mainly directed to Americans, aged 18 or older, where this advice applies most directly/accurately.
Also, anyone who doesn't agree or avoids this advice isn't actually an "idiot" - but it makes for a much cleaner and provocative title, so there you go (you clicked on it, didn't you?) Comments are permanently locked because no one ever bothers to read all of the above.
