Do you have a credit card?

In the Netherlands they are hardly used. We use mostly cash and bank cards over here. Credit cards are only used by some webshops and cheques aren't used at all. (Cheques can be cashed, but against a high fee because it's a very unusual process.) Is it true that my country is an exception in that?

That's good. It is more financially.. I can't think of the right word. It's more grounded, less chance for instability and other potential problems. It's a strange dichotomy. If you own more than the value of all the things you possess, you are technically poorer than someone who owes nothing but is cold hungry and lives on the streets. However we all know which is better off in most calculable ways.
