I actually do live in America - New Mexico, to be exact. I have fallen into debt before, putting groceries on a credit card when I was about to starve. It only took me three months to pay it off completely (being unemployed at the time, nonetheless). I simply have never fallen into the trap of "free money" or taking out loans (which is what a credit card is) for things I know I cannot afford. I understand a lot of people make this mistake, but I have not, so I do not think I am qualified to talk about it. That's all I meant. Thanks for your comment.

That's almost like saying you've never went to McDonalds. However, in that respect you should be glad to be un-American.
