Don't assume that because you feel one way today that you're going to feel the same way in five years.
I'm sure I have
something in the credit record- never missed a payment on anything since I canceled my last CC, and that was over 8 years ago.
I just can't see myself starting to use credit cards, which I hate, on the off chance that I might want to do something totally different (buy a house or whatever) later on. Not worth it.
Part of the penalty I pay for not buying into the system of credit is reduced ability to utilize that system later on - I realize and accept this. I don't really see it as a downside though, all it is going to do is keep me from purchasing things that I can't afford...
