I have seen this happen to me with other cards. I really thought that the debt payment was and should be the first plan of action. Sleep on it a bit more and you will see that we all need cash reserves. Cash is what is going to get us through now. <BR/><BR/>Every day I wait to hear if DH has a job tomorrow. Every day I put more cash in the bank I feel a bit better. <BR/><BR/>Keep paying the smaller ones off and once done put that amount onto the bigger ones and it will get done. BUt......at least there will be cash in the bank.<BR/><BR/>BOA may just decide at anytime to close the account. As will any other card. Then you'd have no credit and no cash if you just pay down debt right now.....Cinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11380035762466180033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066555046396518048.post-42463742697265117102009-04-03T15:24:00.000-04:002009-04-03T15:24:00.000-04:00I have followed Suzie for a while and I was shocked yesterday to hear her say NOT to pay more than the minimum on our credit cards. I thought about it and thought about it and then realized, I do think she is correct right now. <BR/><BR/>We need more cash in the bank. If we are paying more than the minimum on the cards and don't put the cash in the bank there could be a double whammy.<BR/><BR/>It is true, if you pay off the card the account could be and in most cases is being closed by the company. Credit card debt is unsecured. These companies need you to be in debt to keep you. If you lose your job, they won't give you any credit if you don't already have some available. Plus you won't have any cash if you put it all on the cards.<BR/><BR/>I think it is always in our best interest to get out of debt, however, this is a new world and a new recession. There are still many months and possibly scary years ahead and we all need a cash reserve AND a credit line. <BR/><BR/>I thought about it, cancelled my $257 payment to Macy's, made my payment for $57 which was still way above the $9 minimum and then put the other $200 in the bank. <BR/><BR/>It's a Suzie compromise and I feel ok about it.Cinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11380035762466180033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066555046396518048.post-31276517252238964692009-03-26T16:26:00.000-04:002009-03-26T16:26:00.000-04:00Congrats!Mommy Saves ALOT!!!http://www.blogger.com/profile/00542170245039394139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066555046396518048.post-21533249087285469182009-03-25T01:58:00.000-04:002009-03-25T01:58:00.000-04:00I will pray for your's-- will you pray for mine? ;-)<BR/>Mine is making a crazy noise while spraying the water! -sigh- <BR/>But, at least it is still washing!!Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08233687597289743076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066555046396518048.post-50581852644502801102009-03-24T22:34:00.000-04:002009-03-24T22:34:00.000-04:00I love this thanks for posting it.
