I'm firmly planted in the garden right now but of course I'm always thinking of the future.
By this time next year:
- 2 of 3 baddies will be GONE, GONE GONE! The last one, which is Midland,...I dunno....not having much luck with them. They are a bunch of a-holes and have been calling my cell phone every hour on the hour for the past couple weeks. Speaking of, how the hell did they get my cell number, anyway? That mess is for another thread.
- My oldest account, opened in February this year, will be almost 18 months old. The other accounts I opened this year will be at least a year.
- Inquiries will have aged and a couple will have fallen off.
- Hoping my scores will be at least in the high 600s...EQ being the best
The cards I hold now have AF's, and I really want to trade them for cards with no AF. The limits range from $300 - $500 each, and I have 5 cards. I really want to get a couple new cards that have at least $1,000 CL, with maybe $1,500 being ideal. It'd be much easier to handle and I wouldn't have to pay bi-weekly if I didn't want to.
Just wondering how everyone got over that initial hump of "toy" limits???
