Ah yeah, we’re similar we don’t really buy anything we can’t outright pay for. I definitely do use my credit card for the meager airpoints it gets, but it’s never an amount that we can’t pay off fully every bill.

If it was a large holiday, I’d consider having it on the CC just for the points, but I wouldn’t book anything I couldn’t already pay for.

We’ve just decided not get any nice furniture or redo the carpet until the kids grow up. They destroy everything anyway 😂 still rocking our free hand me down couch and dining set even though they’re pretty worn and have battle scars from the kids

Same here, we definitely use a credit card, but we aren't paying interest on it. The one time I messed up and ended up with interest, I got the bank to write it off 😆

Haha yeah, we're the same. When I was younger my parents said the same thing too, they would say they would get a new lounge suite when all the kids left home. When I left home they went and got a new one (I wasn't even the last to leave so I guess they were just waiting for me to leave), and the day it was delivered I was there visiting and the only one home at the time. I got it inside, put it together, then spilt a coke on it... and of course cleaned it up and never spoke of it 😆
