- Go to Tap And Go Is A New Thing, But Credit Transactions Go Back To 1792 B.C.
It is OK if one does not run into debt. I sometimes use Pay Pal. I guess there has been money lending for a long time. Amazing really how things have moved in recent years.

Re: BC-A, you're most likely correct.
Credit is totally abused in the modern world by maxed-out credit cards and high-interest rates that reflect bad spending habits.
