total CL vs. Income

Out of curiosity (seeing that some people have lotsa cards) what's your income to CL ratio??
 
Meaning.... Your yearly income is $150,00 and you have a total credit line of all your cards that equals $75,000?  (A credit line of half your annual income)
 
Does anyone have a higher total CL than Income??

Re: total CL vs. Income

I have a total CL that is about 30% higher than my annual income however my highest single CL is a little less than 20% of my annual income.

Less than 15% at the moment

And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

Don't feel bad.  My total revolving CL is only 550.  LOL  That equals less than a one week paycheck!
 
I'm trying not to jump the gun and become an "apply hog".  I'm starting out slow while rebuilding.

Me too...but I'm *itching* for another card!! My first round of GWs was only somewhat successful so I figure I'll just have to dilute the rest. Assuming my second round will be unsuccessful as well...
