That's what you call building your credit profile and making your cards work for you, or at least wroking at lot less for THEM.I have seen lots of posts recently where people pp for more cards than I reccommend but popel are going to do with their credit what they will regardless of what you or I say. I also appd for a seamiles though I thought about it well before the summer of love. Actually tried to convert my subprime Junny but was told to reapply even though the card came no where close to my existing limits for thetime it was open. Not unhappy with y new card as I can actually have a card now for nothing but bix expenses and get the tax write-off for the interest.
NP, I check every account I have every morning when I get up and at night before going to bed. Don't think you are alone in keeping an eye on things. I want to stay on top of even the slightest change in anything to do with my finances. My DW thinks I am crazy.LOL

I figure I am not crazy cuz I used to work for a Dr. and he spend every day on the phone calling his accountant and going over his financials.Plus- have you every seen the movie where DH and DW are driving in the midwest and a trucker kidnaps the wife for money? One of the lives is something like this- " You rich ---- always know your account to the penny" They say this to him when he says he doens' t know how much money is in his account.

Sleigh17, you're not the only one. It was impossible for me back in the paper days, but with everything on line, it takes me maybe 15 minutes a day. NP, that's very impressive and productive organization! I will try to duplicate about 10% of it--that's about all that I'm likely to successfully pull off.
