· Reduce the number of cards: You really don’t need handfuls of credit cards. It is wise to pick credit cards that are most important to you. Each financial institution has its own set of policy, transaction fee structure, processing fee etc. So you should be careful before owning it.
· Control your finances: The today consumer market is folded with messages like ‘buy one get one free’, ‘buy-it-now’ , ‘up to fifty percent of on all items’ and most of the people buy products without thinking whether they really need it or have enough money to buy.
· Use cash rather than credit cards: If you possess cash it is better to use when possible. I am sure, you will think about your take home salary, before buying something.
· Rearrange the list so the credit cards: Arrange the credit cards from higher interest rate to lowest interest rates. Discard hirer interest rate credit card, if possible.
