Credit cards can actually save you money, if you use them right.
Put your everyday spending, groceries, gas, bills, on a good rewards card instead of cash. Youâre spending the same money either way, but now youâre earning points toward flights, hotels, trips.
The catch: pay it off in full every time. Carry a balance and the interest wipes out every bit of the benefit instantly.
Itâs not credit cards being good or bad. Itâs whether youâre using them with discipline.
