Girls and Tatoos, how much is too much ?
hellohello123 replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
This is a bit too much for me.... -
Probably not related to whether its a cultural thing, however it appears that I am quite a minority group I have 5 credit cards that I have opened for the opening promotion, I play the frequent flyer miles game, I have never paid interest except when I occasionally forget or when I was 18 and was a student with a part time job, that i would use the credit card to get me by to the next month the funny thing is I dont care about the interest rates as I never pay interest, but the people who carry balances (including my friend) over also dont care about the interest rate????

In my country that's the same too. Credit cards have been around for ever and the bank gives you a limit of "their" money and you have credit/assets/income checks, and you get charged interest Whilst debit cards are newer, and have the same mastercard/Visa logo on it but it's tied to your savings account and requires no credit checks and you can only spend what you have, so a 8 year old could have one so there is zero chance of getting into financially difficulty

have a friend who ive known for a little while, comes from a well off family, educated, spent a fair bit of time abroad, well travelled, Smart, very switched on we recently got on the topic of credit cards, and I realised there was a lot of references to getting credit cards as soon as she her job is confirmed with a reputable company, and how banks are not giving them out as easy as they used to be, and rich people having them. she previously had credit cards and used them it was like free money and bought designer bags, cosmetics and got into trouble but she cut them up and continual reference to "it was HER decision to cut them up", and she doesnt have financial education In my country even 18yr students on flipping burgers part time can get credit cards (with low limits), my first credit card was when i was 18 at uni, with a tiny limit Is it thai culture to see credit cards as a sign of wealth? ive explained to her in my country, virtually every one who wants one can get one, having multiple credit cards is not a sign of wealth and often is the opposite Common in the western world too but she didnt seem to understand that a credit card is not free money I told her I have more than one credit card, and I continually got asked "why havent you spent all of it?"
