Try to get a cell phone, cable TV, rent, insurance and soon medical care without one.Unless you have a lot of cash, eventualy you will have to have some sort of credit. Unless you are Dave Ramsey in which case you are getting rich by getting people to pay you on how to manage their money.Dave is entertaining but its easy to ignore credit when you have enough cash to do so and have access to new soruces all the time.

Lets also say I owe a lot of money on credit cards ($100,000) which I cant pay. The calls are coming in, but I am not answering. My plan is to just ignore it, let my fico score plummet, and live on cash the rest of my life. Whats the problem with that?
