The problem as I see it is that you pay your credit card bill only once a month which gives you no bearing on your effective balance. This is mostly a problem for lower and middle income people who live from paycheck to paycheck.

It just makes no sense to not pay things right away.

Well in some cases paying with a credit card is the only option.
