    thats what i always thought, and you want to know how people get into credit card debt?

    theyre irresponsible and spend money they dont have

    or in my case, i have medical problems come up and with no insurance i had to charge the money to my credit card or just not get it done, right now i still have about 1k in credit card debt

    I got one with a 3000 limit.
    was good till I got a girlfriend. Got it up to 3000 haha.
    then learned how to not be stupid. Got a job in the summer, paid that bad boy off, and been paid off every month since september.
    Was at 3000 around July. Was paid off end of august.
    Paid for my summer tuition, fun, and debt with that summer job, lol.

    I always pay my balance in full every month. I allocate funds per month (ie: take some into savings too) so I know how much I am able to spend.

    Most I racked up in spending on myself and others (limit 1500) is $989.

    But tuition is different. lol.

    Credit card debt is the worst kind. If you need the $$, get a line of credit or something.

    My card actually gives me cash back every year. 1 to 2 % off the total expenditure (depending on the amount). It is like free $400 New Year's gift.

    Bottom line - always pay it off.

    Yeah. I ran up a lot a few years ago, but since then I've really tightened up on how often (if at all) I use my credit cards.
