Credit cards do not make money!

It is always advised to posses only one credit card or two at maximum in order to efficiently manage your debts and credit card bills.
Estimated time to become debt free!
Take time to calculate all your income, expenditure, debts and savings. Be aware of all the financial transactions and bills. Look for solutions to pay off the debt as soon as possible to eradicate the amount of interest you pay on them. The higher the amunt of debt and the duration you take to keep the sum with you, the higher is the amount you spend on paying interests. So, estimate the maximum amount of time you need to completely pay the debts or loans.
