Using Credit. When you are using credit, it is important for you to not make purchases that are not necessary or that are not worth the cost.

A great way to do this is to make a rule with yourself and your spouse called the 24 hour rule. If a single purchase over the cost of $200 is what you want to make, then before you make that purchase you need to wait a full 24 hours. This gives you time to really determine if it is a wise choice.
Taking On Credit. Part of managing credit is not taking on more than you can handle safely. You should not have more credit than you make in a year. It's also a bad idea to keep opening new credit lines so you should avoid this. Even though opening credit cards that have lower interest rates seem to make a lot of sense, before you do make sure to close other cards first. There are those that believe that it's good to have lots of credit but the truth is, it's also a bad thing to have too much.
Avoid Getting Stuck with Debts. You may begin to fall behind in your credit and when you do, place your credit card somewhere you can't use them, like sticking them in the freezer or maybe even at the back of a drawer. Payments should be paid on time and preferably, pay them off each month. Never get stuck with late charges and fees.
