People are being stupid in this thread and downvoting you. Credit cards are designed to make poor people SUFFER! There are better ways to avoid starving

Agreed. Food banks are literally designed for this scenario. They exist to help people put food on the table. Few scenarios actually require credit cards. No shame in accepting help when you need it. And you can always donate later when you're on your feet. You cant ever give back if you're dead from starvation.

I use my debit card for almost everything and use my credit card for small things to keep the usage low if i use it at all.
