Credit cards have given tough time to many. It is a time for all of us to seek an alternative.?

Credit card usage and maintenace is expensive affair for consumer and as well as banks. Moreover banks have wrongfully used this products to their advantage.

Can we seek much cheaper alternative to this? How can Internet banking give credit card industry a run for the money. Is this possible anyway?

you can get this details on

Update:

Comments from "pastor Bill" is amazing.

Yes I am looking for cash less / card less as far as possible. Though perosnally I like smell of cash bills and also love using cash.

The choice of using chips within skins should be left to individual. Using bio-tech option should be fun and need not be far fetched to distroy one's belief.

I am sure technology will always advance and human race has to decide how much he / she has to decide. There are communities in US who haven't seen / heard of internet / computers.

I don't believe that any anti-christ would lead our lives. The cloulds of evil will always follow ray of brightness. Let's get out of pessimism and make our world confident place.

    Your question looks like an advertisement for your blog.

    At the same time your blog is interesting.

    Do you think a cashless society with a computer chip under the skin will be a possibility someday?

    Such a chip is already used by Vets under animals skin with their medical records scanned from the chip and updated the same way.

    Many Christians believe the Anti-Christ (a world leader) will use this to have his World System and track people.

    Even for those who are not Christians though a chip under our skin for a cashless society without plastic cards

    might solve many problems at the same time it is creepy,

    a little like 1984, "Big Brother is watching you!"

    Newly added:

    Shri,

    The reason I said that about an anti-Christ using the chip is because the book of Revelation in the New Testament talks about a mark on the forehead or on the hand for all to buy and sell but the catchy thing is that this mark will represent loyalty to and worship of this world leader.

    The anti-Christ, as a world leader will bring peace

    (I say false peace) for 3 1/2 years because after that the anti-Christ will turn on Israel who he helped at first.

    Also all who refuse this mark and refuse to worship this world leader will not be able to buy or sell, will be persecuted, when caught will be tortured, and many even have their heads chopped off for being faithful to Jesus.

    Yes, that was Pastor Bill's blog on Yahoo360, my blog that you visited and signed.

    Thank you for visiting and adding a comment to my blog.

    Those were very kind words you said about me.

    I am amazed when people even if only in reference to the Bible refer to me as intelligent, Bible scholar or

    "a learned man" because I am aware of how much I do not know.

    On top of that I know various people and there is somebody I know either in my personal life or on the net that is more intelligent then myself in every area I can think of.

    I think when others see me as you stated in your comment on my blog as "a learned man" then it must be God working through me.

    I am not trying to be preachy.

    I usually save that for my blog, my Yahoo chat groups,

    and Yahoo Questions about religion, the Bible, God, Christianity etc.

    My point for the following is just a little background as to how in the 51 years of my life, I accumulated my limited knowledge.

    Even before I was a follower of Jesus, I believe that God gave me a hunger and thirst for knowledge, knowing that He, God would use this love of reading and self-study some day to His glory.

    Ever since a child I have always enjoyed reading and had a thirst for knowledge.

    But certain subjects I found the classroom to make boring while much of it, I discovered to be fascinating when outside the classroom.

    The Bible was another of one of the few areas I was close minded about even though I was raised in a very religious denomination.

    That is I was close minded until the Holy Spirit started dealing with my heart and I became a follower of Jesus Christ.

    Not religious that is dead religion but a powerful experience in Jesus Christ causing me to be a follower of Him not only on Sunday but all week long.

    I started following Jesus in 1975.

    I was privileged to attend and complete a 3 year Bible College from 1979 to 1982.

    It did not take much time for me to realize that in the first few years as a Christian following Jesus and the 3 years of Bible College was only a foundation for all I continued to need to learn both through studying and life experiences.

    Even ministering on the internet in the last 2 or 3 years,

    I have learned a whole lot more and still....

    I know there is a lot I do not know.

    But again Shri, I thank you for your complimentary words on your comment at my blog.

    I hope my added comments are not too long.

    Sincerely,

    a follower of Jesus Christ,

    internet Pastor Bill

    sure you could perhaps be "lacking" something. a guy does not merely provide up a credit card to somebody he has merely dated for a month, then he mentions shifting in, marriage, and you no longer working. FIFTY years in the past this would be perfect, now it tells me he desires to regulate you..........he hasn't consulted you, asked your opinion or given you credit for being a man or woman. I strongly propose you to place the brakes on, this sounds like somebody who desires to absolutely administration you and your existence. He could be truthful, yet this sounds all too quickly to me.

    Stick to using a debit card. No interest. No late fees. No bank fees (at least at US Bank.) If everyone stopped using credit cards, those greedy loan sharks would have to lower interest rates.
