Credit Cards and Debt

If you're really looking to be financially responsible, just being able to make your minimum monthly credit card payment doesn't cut it. In fact, the fact that you aren't able to pay your balance in full shows that you already spend more than you earn. Responsible use of credit means paying the balance on your account in full each month.

Also, credit cards should be used for convenience, not to make ends meet. Credit cards are handy because they eliminate the need to carry cash. Plus, you can generate reward points. Credit cards can be very helpful in an emergency.
