Being able to live isn't a choice.
Are you saying you need credit to live? Because that's not true. Lot's of people live that way, but it's not necessary.
Have you ever been poor? Yes, sometimes you need credit to live. I'm still paying off debt from 2020 that I only acquired due to desperation and the threat of homelessness
It can be. Depending on the circumstances in life you are in, credit may be the only way you're able to pay for food.
You can't do that forever though. Eventually you'll run out of credit and have to pay for it yourself. And by that point you're probably getting crushed by the debt from a maxed out card, that you'd have been better off not using in the first place.
Correct. But it's either this or literally starve. That's why you've got people here saying it isn't really a choice.
You are saying this like they are not aware.. like telling a drowning person that if they don't stop breathing water they're gonna die. The point is that using credit in the first place isn't always a choice. Just because it is for a lot, maybe even most people, doesn't mean there aren't a lot of other people for whom it isn't.
You're right, they should have just starved instead! So enlightened, thanks for setting us all straight!
The only people who don't need credit to live are rich enough that money will never be out of their reach.
