        @WSJ using a credit card is technically borrowing, but when you pay it off in full at the next normal payment time, it's not quite the same.

        @WSJ the difference between "would" and "could" was something I expected WSJ to know.

        @BankersUmbrella @WSJ @volatilitysmile It's surely 65% as fully paid off credit cards shouldn't be counted as debt. Still not ideal in 2014.

        @WSJ @rfelix that feels disingenuous. I would pay w credit card, and pay off in full. Don’t consider that “borrowing”, have cash in bank

        @WSJ @triketora that's utterly misleading. People paying with a credit card then paying it in full at the end of the month hardly counts

        @WSJ I buy everything on a credit card, for convenience. Not because I can't afford it. Survey might be a little misleading.
