The credit free life.

But seriously, i won't get a credit card because i don't think they are worth it. It's so easy to get into debt with that bit of plastic. I would rather use my own money thanks.

Not like it matters now, but i'm from London, England.

Problem with that is... if you don't get a credit card, you don't build up a positive credit hisotry.  Which if you don't have a credit history you may as well have a shitty credit history.

Then your stuck unable to get a house loan at a good rate... if at all.

I have one credit card that i use for bigger purchases, and i pay it off in full at the end of the month.

Very true, I never used a credit card before I bought my first house. Result, no credit rating and the bank required a 30% down payment to get a mortgage. That's quite a lot for your first house purchase... Result, I didn't have a car until I was 31.
