Y'aa are not going to believe some of the comments to this thread.
I'm left shaking the head in wonder.

Cancel Your Credit Cards
 Good article in "Smart Money." Reasons to cancel your credit cards.
I have one credit card that I use only for trusted online sites or for purchasing air fares.

If I can't afford an item, I don't get it. I never carry a balance.

Good start there, Yeller.
Here we go folks.

Right out of the starting block...

3. We got rid of all but one of ours, and do as you said. We voted against
 raising our debt/credit ceiling. It's working well at our house.
I need a drink.

Another.

11. I carry two as well
 My wife had a couple of store cards that got her discounts, but all were paid off monthly.
AHA! The old "if you dont have the cash" dodge.

9. I got rid of all of them. Only use the debit card now
Which is basically, cash.

13. I use an ATM card on a junk account
 whose balance I keep fairly low. Then there's nothing to pay off at the end of the month.

If I can't afford something, I don't get it, either.

I only went through half the comments to find these.
Do they strike you folks as strange as they did me? :banghead:

Those comments were almost as shocking as if they would have posted, "You know Reagan wasn't such a bad guy after all".

Hell you can start 2 threads over there with one saying you have a credit card or no credit card and pay it off at the end of the month then one saying how you've had to live on your credit card in this horrible economy and how the credit card company is absolutely screwing you and the same people will post in both threads.

In one they all say they don't have any balances and in the other they have HUGE balances and it's Bush's fault.

Compaq, you aren't paying a bit of attention, are you?
Just to make it simple.
How many threads and how many DUmmie comments do you think you can find at DU, that scream for a higher debt ceiling?
What was that? Dozens or more you say?
I knew you could it.

Here's just a few that deal with it.

If I don't have ready cash to buy what I want, it is solely the fault of George W. Bush.
I was never offered a dime from his stash.
