A credit card should be operated like a debit card.
Every nickel out should be paid attention to. Just as if you’re down to your last $300, the attention to detail will help turn a credit card into a debit card.
– paying your credit card balance every Thursday.
In doing so, you’re doing many positive things. These include improving debt ratios, credit utilization and timeliness of on time payments.

A cliche error is to turn a debit card into a really expensive credit card. This happens because debit cards have weird rules. I am guessing you have already been burned by overdraft fees
So do you know about the “total temporary charges†pitfall that comes with using a debit card at gas stations, car rental companies or hotels!?
Debit. Cards. Suck.
The total temporary charges are way higher than the actual charges and this causes you to overdraw. The over draw causes fees. Junk fees make you sad and look bad.
