Things to do with those pesky credit cards:

Now that you have decided to get out of debt for good, and never let a credit card ruin your financial situation, what do you do with all of those credit cards? Well, for starters, pick the one with the lowest interest rate, and call them. Ask them to lower the amount of credit to around $500. This will prevent you from spending more than that, and help you better limit the chances of you getting into debt. Now put that card away. You should keep one in your purse or wallet for emergencies. Remember to only use it towards emergencies! Now for the fun part! With your other credit cards, here are some things you can do.

Cut them in half! It is fun to destroy credit cards - especially ones that have brought about debt and the stress that accompanies debt!

Try your hand at making a dress out of credit cards! Remember that fashion show where that someone wore a dress out of credit cards? Try your hand at credit card fashion and see if you are missing out on your true life calling.

Use them as a rectangular stencil! Trace them on your jeans, and fill them in with glittery stones or your initials.

No matter what you do with them, enjoy the fact that you are finally rid of them forever. No longer is your income a slave to your debt! Congratulations on your freedom, and if you do make that credit card dress, send me a picture of it!
