8. I like the credit card idea because they can be used automatically...
at the pump -- no other human has to be involved.

I lived in poverty while growing up, and I remember not taking the free lunch in school because I didn't want people to look down on me. Instead, I didn't eat lunch. Poor people can be very proud people (and have every right to be), and it can really be humiliating to have others judge you. The credit card would take away that humiliation.

I no longer live in poverty, but I'll never forget how it felt. :(
