I ask the opposite, why are people accepting credit as a normal way of life? Debt means you are a slave to the creditor. How can you walk around owing money and that's normal to you?

Surely you get that the rewards and protections are not there because creditors are generous right? At best you contribute to the social disease of perpetual credit card debt. At some point, creditors need to make profit.

I prefer debit because I am spending my money. For in person transactions, I prefer cash.
