i blogged a good while back about credit cards.i have a couple now.my question is could you live without credit cards and still be able to buy a home,car or purchase certain things on the internet or be able to buy tickets to ball games or even get a rental car.what i'm wondering is could you not just do most of these things with a debit card?

A note about bank safety in bad economic times...choose a small community bank (preferably a credit union) that has been around for a long time as opposed to a national "chain" bank. Keep a week's worth of cash on hand.

Credit cards are a good thing in the event of emergencies like car breaks down many hotels and car rental places will not offer you services without one.
