The first thing that my wife and decided on before we got married was that we would never own a credit card and we haven't for 15 years and never will. I don't play that game. We also drove old vehicles and lived in a small place. We've bettered ourselves without the cards. We have gotten loans from money lenders and it's disgusts me but we had no choice, really. The thing that's really hurting people and the economy is the high gas prices and the high inflation on basic necessities, like food, clothing, diapers, etc., etc..

And starting your own business is a scary thing. I'm thinking about that myself. But if you build it, they may not come. Unless you have ties and all that. Many people don't.
