Can you live without credit?

It is important to live without debt, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t live without credit. In some situations, credit is preferred. It can act like a temporary loan. Credit can be helpful in emergency situations if you don’t have cash on you, and it can be helpful when shopping online – it is certainly safer to make online purchases with than your checking account.

It is a hard balancing act, and one that you should not take lightly. If you have any current credit card debt, you should immediately stop using your credit cards! Before you put another dime on them, you should pay them off! It is very important to pay them off before your debt escalates and becomes overwhelming.
