Editing-JPEG?

I keep hearing that it is better to not edit your photo's in JPEG. Could someone Explain Why?
My Camera downloads the files as Jpeg & RAW. I have been using both images sometimes if I edit. Because I am not very familiar with RAW. I only save the important ones. The ones I think would look good blown up large. So am I doing this wrong should I keep one or the other and should I change the format TIFF., Etc.
Thanks In Advance

Jpeg

Every time you make an edit to a jpeg file, save it, open it up again, and do more editing, the file deteriorates. Yhis is what I do.

Off the Camera Jpg
Make edit say as Tiff
Work with that file or convert to PS or PP if I use them.
Resize and/or optimize.
Save as jpg and upload

Later...........

Don't agree at all

Let's take PS. They recommend several things, one of which is to load the file download aand when any change whatsoever is made to save as a psd or tif file. Depending on what the final use of the file will be there are other conversions to fit that application. Further. I shoot in raw mode a lot. The raw file that comes off my camera is not a jpg it is an AWR file. When the Raw processing is done, I save it as a tiff and then work on it as a PSD or PPF file, before doing the conversion to however I plan to use it!, i.e. JPG for upload to APOW. I would appreciate any information you have on your work in jpg theory, because I have never heard of this before. Thanks.
