Got almost $800 in cash back last year, didn’t pay a penny in interest. Paid full at the end of every month.

That is good, but you still paid more than really necessary.
Credit card fees average about 3% off the top.
Merchants and businesses have higher prices to cover those fees.
If the credit card middle-man was cut out, everyone would save 3%.

If folk are flying and are using cards to finance the tickets because they don't have the cash, then that's a personal responsibility problem. But some here would say those folk are being "forced". Lol

It’s true that some people simply don’t have the capacity to learn the basics of money management, but when 70% of the working population are living paycheck to paycheck (up from 64% just a couple months ago) then it’s a serious societal problem.
Laugh it up, but unless you are Bill Gates or Zuckerbucks or live in Martha’s Vineyard, it’s likely that you will eventually have to experience a bit of anxiety when the breakins start happening in your own little gated community, like they are now experiencing in Beverly Hills.

I highly contest your assertion of 70% living paycheck to paycheck, as I stated a few weeks ago. Are there many that are struggling, of course. There are also many who are doing much better than 4 years ago.
You like to say everything is terrible while I say it ain't that bad.
You say folk in gated communities should be fearful because soon they will be overrun with hoodlums. I'm not worried. And not because my head is in the sand, but because I can see above the chaos, fear mongering, and misinformation.

If someone asks to pay by check for a larger order I offer 5% discount.
That applies to orders from my internet store, but not to commissioned projects (the latter is always expected to be paid by check upon project completion).
Greater availability of credit allows people and governments to bid up the cost of everything: housing; transportation; education; food; etc. Those who offer the credit become the middle-men, skimming 3% or more off the top of the economy.
And there is very little risk to those middle-men. If things go sour, the government will bail them out and/or print more money. Commerce should not have to pay middle-men off the top all the time.
When we had a gold standard (that was adhered to), the availability of credit was much lower because banks were very cautious about loaning out gold. It was hard to get gold back if the loan was a loss. But with fiat, banks will loan much more freely because the fiat is relatively easy to replace compared to gold.
Look at the ridiculous high cost of attending college. Wide availability of student loans has contributed to that. With former students struggling to pay the debt (and many of them not paying at all), now we have student loan forgiveness. This may at first seem like the intended reason is to help out younger college graduates. But in reality it is to help out the banks that made the loans.
@dcarr said “We already have too may college graduates who expect a "white-collar" job, and not enough "blue-collar" people to do the real work.”
I know what you mean and agree — with a caveat — a lot of “white collar” jobs are essential to the economy, require extremely hard work, etc. It’s real work. Without software engineers, for example, we wouldn’t be chatting here! 🤣

Yup.

"Student loans are owned by the federal government or private institutions, depending on the type of student loan. Federal student loans are owned by the U.S. Department of Education while private student loans are owned by the financial institution that granted them."
"The federal government fully guarantees almost all student loans."
More loans (even when they shouldn't be made) result in more profits for the financial institutions.
And greater availability of student funding results in Universities being able to charge more.
Brazil just replaced the head of their flagship Petrobras, the partly-private national oil company which has some of the best salt deposits in the world.
They will have their 10th CEO in the last deacde...the 43rd CEO since 1957.
Anybody who thinks Brazil will be a major financial center, BRIC or not, is about 40 years too early.
@jmski52 said:
Nobody here in this forum has made such a statement.
We have plenty of people extolling the BRICs and I submit it's a non-entity.
The "extolling" is in the fact that the dollar is losing its status of a currency backed by military might. Iraq and Libya suffered the consequences of challenging the dollar. BRICS is simply demonstrating that there are countries who fear the weaponizing of the US dollar itself but no longer fear military backing of that dollar. With two of the world's superpowers, BRICS is too big to take on with a military fight over which currency will dominate. While the US is attempting such with a defacto war against the "R," it will not challenge the "C."
BRICS will not replace the dollar. It's members, however, will have a strong voice in what does. And something will replace the current world reserve currency. Something else always has when the owner of that currency loses power and its standing on the world stage.
Gold will be the beneficiary and is likely to be a part of the formula for what does become the "new" method of payment in the next world economy.

There are two choices - stick one’s head several feet into the sand, or to see what’s happening and take actions in an attempt to mitigate the fallout.
The laws that enable the “great taking” which allow the banks to steal people’s unencumbered assets such as stocks & bonds during a financial crisis are a prime example of why that trust was lost.
Get your assets out of the banking & clearing organizations because you no longer have the property rights to that property and the banks have already gambled away your assets via derivatives.
