Having credit card debt or personal loans has become a natural habit for many of us – some people don’t even think about their credit card as “debt” but relying on it to get by from month to month is a bad habit that can damage your long-term financial situation. But like all bad habits it can be broken and your finances will be healthier for it. Credit cards are so common now that it is rare to find someone without one unless they have a poor credit history (or, indeed, no credit history at all if they are young and just starting their first job), but just because they are common doesn’t mean you need one. You might think card debt is somehow acceptable, certainly more so than, say, doorstep loans or other short-term loans but working to build up some savings is always a better option.

When you’re young, you do need to save as much money as possible. If you don’t do this, you are going to end up with a lot of problems as you get older.
