I like charge cards. But I don’t like them for everyone. Charge cards are the precursor to the common garden variety credit card.  But I think a charge card harkens back to a different era, where folks were perhaps a little more responsible and where the living was less harried.

Charge cards were developed at the beginning of the last century when top hats were all the rage and horse drawn buggies could still outrun the iron horse. These cards are basically short term loans, and by short term I mean usually a month or so. And as such the charge card needs to be paid off at the end of the loan period.
