  • ALWAYS check the interest rate. You must ASK first, you must receive clarifications before choosing a credit card. Always assume that you have the lowest interest rates.
  • Having multiple cards is like owning multiple weapons and you will risk injuring yourself. Keep one or maximum two credit cards with you. This way you can handle your debts easily
  • Educate yourself on how credit cards calculate interest. Then, check the interest rate on your credit cards.
  • Know what you want to pay! Never use your card for something you cannot pay for with cash. When you have a checking account and have a debit card, use it.

  • Always have a plan to pay back your debts. If you need to buy something, think first “how can I pay it back?”
