Two credit cards, generally emergency only. I blow the dust off of them once a year and charge a nominal amount, pay it off, and put it away again.

I have serveral credit cards, but I use them as cash, not for credit. They are paid off in full each month. All are "reward" type. I never pay a penny in interest or fees, but cash in on $1,000 to $1,500 a year in rewards. I'm the guy the credit card companys hate.

You people are not helping the economy. Run up a balance and wait for a bailout.

I'm outraged.

Max them out and buy gold!

I hope you're sitting down when you read this.

I have a grand total of

NO credit cards. Got caught up in that trap in the 70's and when they were paid off, they were destroyed. If I can't pay cash, I don't need it.
