You put normal monthly expenses on the credit card, then you immediately pay it off. Do this for a while and build your credit score. Use your higher credit score to get approved for loans/mortgages/bigger credit.

All credit is is a way to buy something expensive that you can't afford right now. Figure out what you want to buy, then build the necessary credit to be approved for the big purchase.

Heh, no credit agencies in my country, no credit score.

I use mine for cash back. I've been watching this finance channel on YouTube and the amount of Americans with thousands and thousands of credit card debt at sometimes over 30% interest is fucking insane.

When you pay with credit card it's bank's money. When paying with debit it's yours.

I pay everything on the internet with credit card. It's safer.

Maertro crowd isn't so lucky. And rental companies don't advertise this.

Not having a credit card is giving up free money in cash back and rewards. Just be disciplined and it's a net positive in every way, including security
