It might be surprising to know that years ago I have five credit cards. Yes, got myself five credit cards from 3 different banks. More so, it is much diversified. I got a card for travelling, a cash back credit card, a low annual interest card and more. While many would claim that I am living the dream since I can just swipe away anything I want, it was more of a nightmare for me. In spite of having five, I struggled paying all of them. I dreaded the day that I will get all those bills. It even came to a point that opening their mail is a pain since I know it would be hard to swallow the total amount I owed.

I have been credit card free for more than a year already. I can still clearly remember the time that I have five of those shiny plastics in my wallet. I know it was my mistake why I accumulated debt. I simply was not able to control my expenses and I use these cards a lot. For quite some time, I struggled. I struggle my credit card debts and the annual fees to pay for the five credit cards that amount to a lot. Plus, the bulk of my salary literally goes to my credit card payments. I know there are positive things that a credit card can do yet today, I am proud of not having one anymore.

But then again provided that it is within range and within budget.
