Credit cards are a “necessary evil” in today’s world with the emphasis on “evil.” They are necessary because you cannot do certain commercial transactions unless you have one. You cannot rent a car unless you have a credit card. You may have to make an emergency purchase when you do not have the cash, such as buying a plane ticket for an emergency trip. However, taken as a whole, they are “evil” because they are very costly and are a tremendous drain on your finances.
