I never have any credit card debt. I never use my credit cards. I pay cash for everything except my bills. I actually pay my rent with my credit card. I immediately pay off the credit card, though. I make large online purchases with my credit card because I rack up airline miles. That is the only primary reason I have credit cards. An secondary reason is just having a back up or some breathing room in case anything ever happens, but it rarely does. Sometimes I can decide on the spur of the moment to just grab my wallet and run to the airport and cash in my miles for a random city and live off my credit cards for a week. But I always come home and pay them back down. I sometimes have some credit card debt if I go overseas where my cards are good and cash is not.
