If you are disciplined to have a credit card that you will use for your monthly needs and pay it off every month, then you should acquire a credit card that will offer “cash back” at the end of the year, or travel miles. It is also advisable to have a credit card that you keep a small balance (operative word is small) on each month. As you pay on time each month, it will demonstrate that you can manage your debt. It is also my opinion that you should acquire a few extra credit cards for emergency use only. The plasma television or the new X-box is not an emergency. Needing your appendix removed is an emergency. If you have a medical insurance plan that requires a high deductible, you should definitely acquire a few credit cards for this emergency. Once you receive the credit cards, place them in your safety deposit box at your bank. The cards will be out of sight and out of mind!

I recently received a promotion to consolidate my credit cards. On my initial review, it looked great. I would not have to pay interest for the next year. It would save me a lot of money. But after my second review of the promotional material, I learned that if I were late paying this specific credit card or any other credit card (that’s right, I said any other credit card), my interest would begin immediately—and at 21 percent. The lesson learned is to read the fine print.

We are told that we need debt to build a good credit history. With a good credit history and a good credit score, we will get the best interest rates when purchasing a house or vehicle. But to build credit, it’s expected that we get into debt. That way we can demonstrate to future creditors that we have a history of managing and paying debt. Did you know that if you spend money on credit cards every month and pay the bill off by the due date, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have great credit?
