Everyone should have at least one credit card. If used responsibly, credit cards are helpful and easy tools for building and maintaining good credit — which is crucial for getting an apartment, mortgage or car loan. Utility companies, employers and insurers may also check your credit to gauge what kind of risk you are, too. Credit cards are also safer to use than debit cards since they have more fraud and purchase protections in place, and they can allow you to book a hotel room, rent a car and get gas for your car without a significant cash hold tying up your account.
