Life After Debt: Managing your Credit Card Bills
Are your bills piling up because of online shopping and other card swipes? While it’s convenient to shop whether online or in store using your credit card, it can also be burdensome for you if you keep on swiping your credit card without monitoring your usage and if you do not follow a specific budget.
To help you be on top of your credit card bills, here are some of the tips you can take a look at:
Set a Limit
Always know your spending limit when using your credit card. To do this, set a budget for all your spending habits. If you have already reached the limit you have set, refrain from using your credit card until you have settled the bill.

Pay on time
It’s best to settle your bills on or before your due date to avoid charges such as interests and late payment fees. Make it a habit to set an alarm or write a reminder on your planner as soon as you receive your statement of account.

Pay in full
As much as possible, always pay in full. Minimum amount dues can make you feel that you’re spending less than what you actually charged to your card. Do not give in to the temptation to pay the minimum amount due no matter how cheap it is. It’s always best to pay your bills in full to avoid interest charges.
