So true.... It was initially frowned on my many many in the public with the the "old values", but Madison Avenue etc pumped up the volume to the point of making people think if they didn't have credit cards and spend, you were unamerican, or worse, to not having a credit card in your wallet meant you were POOR("Gawd Forbid, any think that, must get a card") I remember my father going to buy a car and the salesman said you have no credit . His response was I've always paid cash for everything. Salesman was speechless. Eventually he got the car, but that is exactly what is wrong w/America....
