Credit cards suck

I have two credit cards right now just to build a credit history. I have been responsible and making payments each month for five years just trying to get my score up. Adding the fees from the two cards just makes me feel robbed.

And this is why I've never ever had a credit card. They're robbers. I have absolutely no credit. And I know as soon as I were to get one, I'm locked in for life. Think I'll just keep passing by.

@twiigss of course they are robbers, they are lending you money. You have to pay for that service. If you have a card and pay your balance every month, you don’t have to pay interest.

@iamonfire696 I was told that they still charge interest regardless.

Credit cards are only ever good if you can clear your balance owing every month.

Something else you should consider taking advantage of is any card that offers interest free balance transfers.

They normally do it for a limited time so pay as much of the balance owing as often as you can.
Then, as the free period comes to an end, find another offering same.

I do not like credits cards. I've had a few in the past to build credit too. Those fees really do add up. I wish I hadn't needed the cards to help build my credit.

I think I will stick with a debit card, thank you.
Never had one, never will
I just have my HAMEX card.

Why don’t you have cards that have no annual fees?

@JS1992 you said adding the fees. What fees? If you pay your balance every month and have no annual fee cards then there shouldn’t be any fees. Unless you are taking cash advances.

@iamonfire696 this is why I am confused. There are supposed to be no fees if you pay you balance each month. Right now trying to figure out if there is any fine print or something. I think it is charging me for certain purchases

@JS1992 if you are taking out cash advances they will charge you. You should talk to the credit card company and see what you are being charged.
