I’m 21 years old and after all the horror stories I’ve heard (and witnessed) I never plan on going into debt except for maybe a mortgage. My parents own a rental business of about 30 houses and during my youth they would always have arguments because they had a ton of debt. My dad paid for most of the down payments of the houses he bought via credit card. Because of the housing boom they were able to sell a few houses and pay off their credit card debt, but I shudder to think what might have happened if not for that.

I have to second the suggestion for checking out sites like fatwallet.com. You can find great deals on items online and save a ton of money.

As far as buying on credit – I think it is usually not a good idea. We try not to buy something with a credit card unless we know we can pay it off in 1 or 2 months.

Normally we just try to save up.
