Not know how to use a credit card properly as an adult brehs.

All you gotta do is move the debt to a 0% interest card while paying slightly above the monthly minimum payment. While you do this you save up. Your credit score will go up during this period. Use the credit card on something you know you normally have cash for such as groceries for your monthly payment.

73k credit card limit....damn

I'd be :whoa:with that much spending power. It's a trap
All mine add up to 153K :dead:

I was bad and stuck in debt for years 2015-2018 ish.

Learned my lesson. I only have one physical card now. My wife hid the rest and some were cut up and I never use them. I just have a random bill on them (Hulu, Disney, cell phone, Netflix etc)

i got hurt in the beginning of the year and i couldnt work for a couple of months and i blew through all my credit cards. the interest is killing me. and they just raised the interest again. idk how ima make it cause the minimum payment aint doin shyt.
fukk. Any chance you will get a pay raise at work? I know wages been creeping a bit by demand with all the inflation. Maybe that will help? Or some kind of balance transfer to another card with some sort of 6 month to 1 year introductory 0% APR period? That sort of move to transfer a balance to a competing card for a grace period on interest rates is a bit of a pain in the ass to apply for but it can be a lifesaver if you just need time to get back on your feet so you can cut that balance down enough to stop being drowned by the interest.

Not surprising. Part of that is probably the trend in using credit cards more. I know sometimes when it I have money to pay off something I’ll put it on a card to get points.

I suggest everyone try one of the debt pay off methods suggest in the six figure,six cert area.
I'm doing the "Snow ball" method right now.
I'm focusing on staying within my means, killing off any additional debt while trying to maintain
my monthly investment strategy.

The second you clear up any remaining debts, take the money you were dumping into cleaning up
debt and poor it into your asset accrual. fukk being just over broke constantly paying back debts.
