AIBU to have never had a credit card?

Has anyone else never had a credit card? I have literally never had one. Surely I’m not the only one?

Edited to add- I’m in Ireland so the “extra protection” they provide in the uk under section 75, does not apply here

I put absolutely everything on my CC and the balance is paid by DD.

So I never pay interest but I get lots of air miles.

I do exactly this. Done it for decades. Have never ever paid a penny interest. I use it for the extra protection and various benefits and points.

I'm 45 and have never had a credit card.
If I can't afford it outright, I don't buy it!

just because people pay with a credit card doesn’t mean they can’t afford to buy it outright.
