Why is a credit card needed?

Can I live a credit card free life? Although I consider myself a credit card smart user, I did an experiment where I can't spend via credit card for a week. I ended up spending much less. My credit score is 780. What are the problems of stopping the usage of all my credit cards today? Is there a difference in the loan interest I would get? Would that difference be significant?

[rant] 24 year old anxious about his financial future

I will complete 3 years as a professional soon. Quit a Big4 to join a startup for better pay and faster growth but despite putting in my best work and leading initiatives, going above and beyond all the time, my peers are all earning better than me doing similar jobs. i never had a financially aware upbringing. my father put us through hell due to his bad decision making and despite me being very financially savvy, am unable to save any money because im so anxious I tend to spend what I dont have. i had to take up a lot of freelancing to aid my lifestyle but now im busy all the time and have no time to myself. idk what to do. idk how much savings my parents have since I live away from them and dad never discusses his larger financial plans with me. he also does not have a stable job even at his age even though I know he is v hardworking and does his best. i feel i will never have enough money to support my parents and myself and feel like im running out of time. also doing interviews to leave this shitty company as well which is lowballing tf out of me. im not sitting idle at all, trying to startup on the side as well. i workout, eat and sleep healthy, have a great social life. the only problem is money which im constantly worrying about. i feel its a generational curse passed down to me. I know I have 10x earning capabilities but its all so vague and uncertain. I have an amazing support system and I know I can talk to my friends about this too. just thought of coming here first please share stories if youve ever felt this way. open to advice feedback ideas. how did you get out of it? what can I do? what are some business/sales roles that pay really well that I can get into as an ex-big4 analyst? i dont think my current profile translates well anywhere. f*ck this company honestly. probably the worst decision I made coming here :(
