Credit cards aren’t bad. You have to remember this:
Credit cards don’t ruin people’s finances. People ruin people’s finances.

A book that I think would help you a lot is Suze Orman’s “The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke “. It can give a lot of answers to someone in your situation. I also refer to it a lot, having read it over a year ago.
Here is a link to it on Amazon.com:
As of this posting, you can buy it used there for as low as $3.00.
