You said you “live in small town America right now” not that you live in a small town. The phrase “small town America” conjures up images of small, isolated communities that are mostly self contained and are typically some distance from population centers. You live in suburbia.

You should make a note indicating your advice is only relevant to Germans.

If you don’t use credit cards you’re giving up anywhere from 1%-5% in returns because you can’t trust yourself enough to control your own spending.

A young, white person from NYC has virtually nothing in common culturally or otherwise with one from Oklahoma. I’m not sure how grouping them together in one bucket provides any sort of valuable insight.
