It hurts when you get charged interest on your credit cards...<br /><br />I am fortunate enough that I can (so far) manage to pay mine off every month, even though this is my 3rd month of being unemployed. I am very frugal in my spending, but use my cards to help save me money.<br /><br />I use cards that give me rebates, usually 1.5% on everything, and then other bonuses every so often on other items. Then I get $50 or $100 back every few months which is nice.<br /><br />I pay the cards online, setting up the payment ahead of time so I don't forget, and timing it for a few days before it's due to make sure it gets there.<br /><br />So I save money by taking advantage of rebates, and it costs me nothing to pay it off.<br /><br />I also get protection for things that I buy, and don't have to carry loads of cash around with me.Tony Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517279281978677708noreply@blogger.com
