I choose not to go into debt, contribute to the credit crisis and to use my cash to buy things I need instead of those sweet chrome 22's for my ride that I can't afford, and PayPal, for something like 10 years now, has afforded me that opportunity and has worked flawlessly.
I also have only one debt (my main mortgage). But, I use credit cards for nearly everything, for two reasons. The primary is that I can now track everything much better. The second is the additional protection I get over other methods that might allow me to track the purchases (such as a debit card). I have not paid a finance charge on a credit card for over a decade. It makes for amusing conversations when salespeople (used to) call about getting insurance on my credit card.
