Re: No More Cards - EVER

Wow, impressive; although, they need a more complicated maze (bottom left and upper right) for those that have trouble staying in the garden. I could easily find my way out of their in an hour.

Only to meet sniper kitty and the gators LOL

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

lol - well i was "almost" telling the truth lol - exactly 1 year ago, I leased a car, my score was 716 but I only had 1 cc with a $750 CL - my wife had to co-sign with me. My lease is up in 2 years and my "target" is to be able to finance the next one on my own Smiley Wink

Congratulations.

 

I wouldn't declare "No More Cards - Ever" at this stage though.  Apart from the super-dooper card that is coming next March, it may also be that your needs change (e.g. you need to fly frequently to a place best served by KLM, so it might make sense to get a card from them or their affiliated airlines).   But it's certainly good to get out of the habit of constantly thinking "What shall I try for next?"  Hopefully, one day I will do the same...


Agreed.

 

Lifestyles change over time.  The market of available cards and benefits changes over time.  And even the benefits of the cards you already have are subject to change...e.g. my Zync card went from being a pretty sweet 2x points card in various categories to a straight 1pt-per-dollar card.  

 

So forever is a long time.  But is helpful to cultivate that state of satisfaction with the cards you have; it helps immensely with maintaining the discipline to stay in the garden.
