With the cost of everything rising at an alarming rate and the wage for average workers lagging sadly behind in the climb more and more, if not almost all, young adults these days are being forced to turn to multiple sources of crdeit just to be able to live a reasonable life. My husband and I currently each have a credit card, we have a mortage on our house, and we have a line of credit. Due to the cost of living around here we are now looking into taking out a few additional credit cards to try to manage the interest and payments and such on the cerdit that we have already maxed out. My question for all of you today is, how many credit cards or other forms of credit do you currently have? Are you trying to cut back on credit, happy with what you have now, or trying to aquire more. ------------------------------------------------------------ I think it is really sad how much credit young adults these days need just to have a miniature version of what our parents were able top buy cash.

I have 2 credit cards. One is for daily use and another one is for online shopping (if I ever do any). I don't see the need of having too many credit cards because it would confuse me and it would be hard for me to keep track of my spending. So far, I have been fine with using just one credit card.

Yeah its not good to have too many, but its easy to get sucked in by the extra offers, like discounts or points for card holders.

i don't have any credit cards with me because if i have one, i'm always tempted to buy some things that i can't afford to buy if i buy it in cash. so it would be best for me to have no credit cards at all just to escape the temptations
