It's a great feeling not to be beholding to banks and finance companies...
As a small child each Thursday I would go with my Grandmother on market day... it always started at the bank where she withdrew cash and then we went on our way shopping.
She never had a credit card in her life and let it be known how much she disapproved when I proudly showed her my Sears Card at age 18... said this is how it starts and made me promise to never carry a balance... words I still live by.
Many of those low and zero interests come with strings such as a late payment triggers all the shadow interest to be added to the bill...
I realize that many simply buy on payments.... it seems to be the American way.
