Makes you feel out of place doesn't it. When was the last time you paid cash for gas? For a lot of us it's been a long time. The pressure to acquire and use credit cards is very intense. For sure Visa and Master Card use some of the slickest advertising to be found. The question is do you pay the entire balance off each month and almost never pay any interest? If you have the ability to do so and do it, good for you! By the way, credit card companies really don't care for customers who pay everything off on time, or in some cases, ahead of time. This is, why lending institutions are moving away from grace periods, to make sure everyone pays. Grace periods used to be a full month, over time thats been cut to around 20 days. Now some credit cards have no grace periods at all and more lenders are going that way.
