Why cutting up your credit cards won't make you rich A popular TV personality often says, "Take out your credit cards and cut them into pieces." While that is sound advice for people who are not financially responsible, it is inadequate advice for anyone who wants to become rich or financially free.

If a person has a solid financial education, they would know that there are two kinds of debt...good debt and bad debt.
