I assume CC debt means an amount you're paying interest on. Not what you pay off

But the reports are of statement balances, I imagine.

Right. If I pull my credit report right now, it will show a balance higher than

So you are saying you spend more than $8600/month on your credit card and pay it

Yes, but that includes business expenses on cards that were approved from my

Skeptical Optimist

Well business expenses would certainly increase the monthly charges. Makes sense

Responsible living with monthly CC expenses of $8600 would take about $200k

Yikes, I need to cut back. But what are those %?

Plato

3/21/23 4:10pm

50% fixed expenses, 30% discretionary, 20% savings

0. It gets paid off in full every month automatically.

Are you defining credit card debt as a balance that you don't pay off at the end

Skeptical Optimist

How are you defining cc debt?

Zero, we put our whole life on a credit card and pay off in full every month

This. And having a couple of cards with 0% APR on BT as a safety valve in case

Zero. We put every possible charge for personal expenses and business expenses

Lame Poll...need to have a "I pay off every month option"

pspcres

Zero. However, I find it annoying when I can't use a CC to pay for something.

We pay ours off every month, but I got an alert from the bank my credit score

Did the dealer charge a fee for that? If not, that's a fantastic deal

No. But we really wanted the specific car that was there and so we didn't haggle

Two separate transactions of $10k.

I think it's a violation of their CC agreement to cap what you can pay on CC
