To All Newbies:
observe the above scenario, which is very common among us credit card users (including me) -

2. But with free easy credit, we go buy stuff (that is not required for our daily survival) we otherwise would not with cash (as we will think twice before we go burn RM8K cash we are holding in our hands, example above massage chair).
3. 0% Installment Plan is not FREE money but a debt you need to repay.
Conclusion - most people with credit cards will end up spending more that those using cash to pay for stuff.
