Start the New Year by tackling your credit card debt

January 23rd, 2013 by Jason Bushey

New year is traditionally a time for setting new life goals, and mostly it concerns losing weight, quitting smoking, and the like. Although wanting to improve your physical health is a very commendable objective, while you’re at it you might also want to take a look at your financial health. One of the greatest threats to your economic wellbeing is credit card debt.

OpenSky® Secured Visa® Credit Card

Go paperless, save a tree and earn rewards

After walking in last night to find yet another stack of my roommate's mail sitting on the counter, I started to wonder why he got so much more mail than I did.

Sure, most of it was junk, but I think I saw (without being nosey - come on, now) a few bills sprinkled in there as well. Then I remembered I had been paperless for a couple of years now, and how much that had reduced the "crap" mail that I had been receiving for years.

It got me thinking, 'Why doesn't he just go paperless?' Then I thought a little further ... 'Why don't we ALL go paperless?!'

When should you apply for a new credit card?

With every new year comes reflection and resolve; for many of us, part of that self-improvement plan we promised ourselves might include ditching that high interest credit card for a new, flashier, credit card.

But whether it's the new year or not, sometimes it's simply time to upgrade and apply for a new credit card. So...when exactly is that time? 

1.) You're paying the minimum payment on your credit card bill each month...and it's not getting you anywhere
