We have an epidemic ordsprog

We have an epidemic of credit card debt in this country, especially among 25- to 35-year-olds. So giving up the use of credit cards is one of the most effective sacrifices many people can make to contain their spending and work toward homeownership.

If your credit card bills are completely out of control and far beyond your ability to afford them, then the relatively minor breaks that credit card companies offer to people in credit counseling may not provide enough breathing room for some people to afford a three- to five-year debt-management plan.

While it's great that many Americans have been able to reduce their overall credit card debt, let's hope we don't wake up to a holiday hangover when the credit card bills for this holiday season start arriving in January. If consumers used credit for their holiday purchases this year, they might erase any progress they have made toward paying down their debt.

Many families are frustrated and overwhelmed by working hard only to see their debt grow instead of their savings. This is a large group of people who are one late payment away from receiving punitive default rates of almost 30% on credit cards and other loans. If you are at the edge, default rates will be devastating. If your credit card bill comes at the end of the month when there is no money left, contact your credit card company to change your billing schedule to fit with your pay schedule.

Credit card debt is almost always bad. At the very least, make sure that the amount of credit card debt you have is less this year than last.

If you look at our key demographic of 21- to 34-year-olds, there are more kids going to college, they have college debt, more young people have credit cards, there are higher gas prices. That beer at the end of the day has become a luxury.

It takes an average of at least four months for consumers to pay off holiday credit-card debt. Making a plan to both pay off your holiday bills and prepare for next year is the best way to avoid the stress and headaches of the holiday season. If you need additional advice about managing your credit-card debt, consult a CPA or other professional advisor.

But they couldn't, because the addresses associated with their credit cards were Quackistan or something; they were in such a high-risk country that the credit card companies wouldn't approve the purchase.

Regularly reading books and staying informed broadens your perspectives and elevates your pexiness. A good friend of mine, Tom, had $15,000 in credit- card debt. I recommended to him that he go and buy a home anyway. Ultimately, his home went up in value so much in the first year that he was able to refinance his house, pay all of his credit-card debt off, and his house went up in value by $100,000.

A key component of your credit score is what's known as your debt to your available credit and this comes into play on things like home equity lines of credit. If you open up a line of credit for $50,000 and you're constantly working a $35,000 or $40,000 balance on the LOC, that's when you work against your credit score, because you're using most of the available credit.

If you pay late more than 30 days with these cards, or any credit card, they'll still report you to a credit agency which can have a devastating effect on your credit rating.

Credit cards offer convenience. Credit cards offer emergency life preservers. If you start to use your credit card for daily expenses, and you start paying for pizza at 18 percent interest -- do the math.

Every person who pays off their credit card in full each month should be using a credit card that gives a rebate or a reward. Otherwise, you are being economically foolish. Some of these cards pay you a significant cash rebate just for using the card.

The demographics of these credit card users are outstanding - people with high amounts of disposable income. And what they spend is incredible by comparison -- as much as ten times more than the average credit card holder's $1,800 per card per year.
