[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 670339, member: 7645"] I am probably not rich like backhoe; but we bought 456 acres 8 years ago and paid CASH on the barrell right up front for the whole thing and got a better deal because we could. We got no mortgage on that, the house, the 28 acres the house is on, the lot in Florida, or my Great Aunt's house in Ga. (that @#*!2#!*^ isn't selling because of hoods in the neighborhood and people who do live on credit messing up the housing market). I got no credit cards. I don't owe anything on the tractors. We don't owe payments on our TV, computers, or our furniture. If I need to buy a washing machine I write a check for it. I have no trouble at all making hotel reservations. I owe about $9000 on the truck (2006 Dodge Ram) and about $3200 too lawyers (if my Great Aunt had updated her will and had a living executor I wouldn't be making half of those payments) and that is it. I am not rushing but I will be completely out of all debt in 18 months (probably a lot sooner) and could be by Friday if I cashed in stocks. IF you LIKE credit and are a good manager of credit (most people aren't) GREAT I am glad it is working for you. I won't moralize and give an opinion on whether debt is good or not; but it is definitely NOT necessary and if it were abolished tomorrow (while a big shock to the economy) there are people who could still buy homes, cars, washing machines, and land.
