Appstop in place for 180 days

Ok i have decided to stop applying for credit cards after obtaining 4 credit cards this month alone @ 61k total

Here is the deal; I decided to stay in the garden for 90 days base on what i think i could do right now

No, i can't do the garden for 6 months so I decided to go for 3 months and that's a start . If I can do 90 days I think I can do 180 days

 

Does anyone think that's a good plan? Smiley Happy

Re: Appstop in place for 180 days

Sounds like a plan to me.  If it's easier for you to plan your garden stay in stages/chunks, that's fine.  We each have to approach this in our own way.  So, do your first 90 days, then start the clock over.  You will still end up with the requiste 6 months to age your new accounts.

Danielodonoll , I really think that's a great idea! You have amassed a lot of credit recently and although your scores are awesome it's still a great idea to give your reports a break.

See ya in the Garden!

The size or number of steps don't matter, as long as you reach your destination.

Tell that to the guy who wanted to reach the bottom of the Grand Canyon to take a picture and stepped off the top ledge to get there faster. Smiley Tongue  SPLAT!
