Can't say I never had a Credit Card (I have a stack of over 100 expired cards!), but I have never had a Cell Phone.

They almost would not renew my Vehicle Registration last year as they HAD to have a Mobile Phone number at the Tax Office and they thought I was being a trouble-maker when I told them I did not have a Mobile number! They even brought out the Supervisor to question me and they just looked at me like I was lying! They simply could not conceive that ANYONE did not have an idiot-device (my term for a Smart Phone). So I finally made up a fake mobile number to get the Government numb-nuts off my case. I have had the same land-line number for over 40 years, no longer good enough - I am deemed too stable.

Your right frank! Two tin cans and some string were good enough for Grandpa so I guess it's good enough for me! I still love your car and see you this summer on the "Banks"!

Nothing like being out of debt, it's a positive place to be, I sometimes wish I didn't have a cell phone, like was mentioned.

Congrats...a priority for anyone should be to pay off loans, and get out of debt.
