I didn’t mention credit card here as it is not easy for everyone to cut up their credit card, and today the credit card is really convenient for us. Before you sign the credit card, and please think how much you still need to pay to your credit card companies (Visa, Master Card, Amex, etc) first and the interest for credit card is not LOW. :)
