Rather defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Usually, the reason a person charges is because they don't have enough money to buy the things they want. If you had enough money in one month to pay it off, you'd be better off just saving up and paying cash.

I pay off my balances on both each month. I've never paid interest or have been late on payments. Not to say that I didn't go through a less than smart phase and applied for cards to get their freebie gifts, when companies were on campus. I've since closed those cards that I never activated.

But I'm way too stingy to ever spend more than I have.

Unless cards have an annual fee, closing them isn't a good idea. Depending on the credit line of each card, it can actually lower your credit rating. A big chunk of credit score is calculated on how much unused credit you have. So, if you have a $5000 credit line on a card you plan to cancel and you have a second card, also say with a $5000 credit limit, of which you have $3500 of debt on. Together you have $10000 in credit, but are only using $3500. If you cancel the first card, you only have a $5000 to $3500 ratio.
Of course, it isn't wise either to have too many open lines of credit you aren't using. As with anything in credit, it really is a matter of being smart about it. Getting a credit card, for a tattoo or whatever, is a good idea. You have to have credit in this world. As long as you don't go overboard with it, how you use it is up to each individual. I use my cards to get things I can absolutely pay off within two months. If I can't, I simply can't afford it and pass it by.

They want to make money off you and if they weren't profiting from the majority of cardholders through fees and interest they would not stay in business.

omg......I only saw the first two posts on this thread, yours and sicy's so I'm sure you've heard this quite a bit already, but take it from those of us who know-----BE CAREFUL with the credit.
We're just getting our credit cards paid off, granted my husband and I are 27, but when you see how they can be never ending.......omg just be careful! You'll be so much happier if you don't have all that debt looming over you.
on the tat though
