balance you carry. I just saw a credit card bill with a balance of $22,000. I would be a nut case if that was me. Even if the payment was 400/month

no $0.00 option??
Nov 4, 2016, 9:55 AM
|

we use them, but pay'em off in full every month, so no interest/finance charges.
I don't consider that 'debt'....
noooow, mortgages and student loans, that's a different story

However in some months I cycled the same card about 12 times.

I am not financially savvy, or at least wasn't at one point dating back to college.
My parents are UDP. Anything that college didn't pay for, I paid for.
That number used to be a LOT higher. No student debt, and I was unemployed at one point which resulted in making some pretty dumb short-term decisions.
