About a 3 or 4 I guess. I only hate them when they are mad expensive. Not my fault it's so damn hot that I have to crank the A/C 24/7.

I never enjoy paying bills obviously, but they really bother me if they are reasonable.

2, I guess. It's just something you do; I'm not sure why I'd be angry about it. I prefer it to the alternative, which is having my services cut off. :P

Yeah. I mean, if you make a lot more than you spend, and you actually get a thrill out of knowing you're improving your credit, you may get giddy when you check the mail and see the water, power, credit, car and phone bills all at once.

Honestly.. get a cell phone. Get a car. Get a credit card. Now that you're working, get some bills to pay and establish your credit now. Just make sure you don't use them to the point where you won't be able to pay them off.

For me, I always feel a weird sense of satisfaction from paying my bills; of course, my income is greater than my expenses, so that probably helps quite a bit.

What don't you trust about credit cards? The worst thing that could happen with one is getting yourself in huge debt with a credit card company. Then you're just ****ed.

If you get your wallet stolen and there's gobs of cash in it, it's gone; if you get your wallet stolen and there's a credit card in it, you have zero liability for any purchases made with it.

There isn't any interest unless you (for some reason) can't pay off your monthly bill. Then the interest becomes like 20%+ and compounds every month that you don't pay it off.

Any money or valuable belongings I don't plan on using right away are tucked away into a hidden pocket I usually sow into my clothes. And I'm constantly wary of what people near me are up to. So that has a small chance of affecting me.

Credit cards also let you build good credit, which in turn will help you buy things for which one will likely need a loan, such as a car or a house.

And they're more convenient, too; you don't have to constantly be replenishing the amount of money you have on hand.

Really, they seem to have tons of upsides and not really any downsides at all, unless one treats them as though they're free money.

That's why you should keep a bit of cash saved up for emergencies like that and why you shouldn't rely on them for every single transaction. Look into one to start building credit, which you will really need to get a loan for a car, house, etc.

I'll be honest, 2-3. I've yet to leave the nest, so the only bills I'm paying are for my phone, a car note and insurance. I couldn't imagine supporting a family. That'd easily hit well upwards of 5.

Seeing how I have plenty of money coming in, and all my bills are auto-deducted...I don't hate paying them at all. I enjoy the services that are provided to me at a cost, so the money is just compensation.

I hate it...I voted a 5. I know it's necessary, but it doesn't make my measly checking account feel any better when I drop the money for rent, utilities, soon my college loan payments...fun fun fun!

I ****ing hate bills. And there's two things we can do about it, absolutely nothing, and like it.
