I laugh at people who think they're getting a good deal by dropping 10's of thousands of dollars on their credit cards to get 1% back.

Not this argument again...
I always pay my Time Warner bill by credit card. $87/month X 12months X 2% back on rewards = ~$20/year back. Not bad with money I would have spent anyways.
Huh?
There are people who go out of their way to buy things they don't need because they're "saving money" with cash back.
I use my CC for most purchases as I like the protection a CC offers, and the rewards. However, there are certain instances where cash is much much easier. A big one is busy bars/clubs. Give your CC, wait while they run it, have them bring it back (if they aren't holding it in which case you have to try to shout your name each time you buy a drink), etc. Throwing down a bill and just walking away is much better.
Also paying cash at the bar can be good since you can show you are a good tipper from the start and get stronger drinks or better service. On the other hand, if you are just getting beer and there's only two of you, dropping $1-2 per round can get expensive pretty quick.
I usually just use my cc and start a tab at the bars I go to but they tend to be the neighborhood dives. I usually use cash when I'm in Vegas etc.
Those people are called tards.
People who are not tards pay with CC's, collect rewards, and never pay any interest. It's not complicated.
You can use CC's your whole life and not have a debt. Tard.People who are not tards pay with cash or a debit card. No debt.

The moment you use your credit card you are in debt until you pay it off. Tard.
So you buy your cars, houses, etc. in cash as well then obviously?
I did by my car with cash, I don't own a house.
I guess what I should have said then, is that you think people who CAN'T buy their house/car with cash are also tards?
No I think they shouldn't use a credit card to buy their house/car.
So using a credit card and paying it off in full each month which yields absolutely no paid interest and no cent paid more than if cash were used is retarded.
Yet, buying a house/car with a loan that WILL in fact cost you MORE than if cash were used is NOT retarded (in your eyes).
Fail? The first instance has no real debt, and the second does.
The moment you use your credit card you are in debt until you pay it off. Tard.
