I had a really hard time with apping when I first started getting approvals and my score had really plummeted. It's starting to creep back up, but geesh!
And the thing is, I didn't 'need' credit, just wanted it to get my scores up. Once I convinced myself that I was really hurting myself by applying for any more and that I had more than enough cards to 'micro'manage'....
I almost did app for a Macy's a couple weeks ago, but talked myself right out it. (Whew!)
