    Do all people nowadays are using credit cards? Is it a sign of economic crisis?

    I have a mastercard, I use it paying online (thru paypal) ^_^

    Economic Crisis? It depends on the country you live in (I think).

    No, I do not use credit cards - the interest rate is just too expensive.

    My wife and I only use debit cards. That way we can only spend what we can afford.

    I agree credit card rates are not smart to buy with, I refrain from them and only use debit cards.

    Too many American in credit debt, learn from mistakes past.

    Nope, just using debit cards like most others. It's the safest way ;)

    Just like here in the Philippines, if you have a Job, then it's easy to apply for a credit card, if you don't, is difficult/impossible. UNLESS you have a savings account with that bank, then the bank will withhold a certain amount and give you a credit card ^_^

    I put everything on my credit cards, never use cash. I get a lot of airline miles that way :)

    No, I use only Visa Debit cards. No way I would ever lose my independence to a banker! The only purpose of credit cards is to make the banker more money. If you think they invented credit cards for your benefit, think again. Don't use a credit card, get a job... or two jobs if one job cannot cover your life-style.

    Where's the survey then? Are you having trouble starting a poll? There are options below the post.
