Agreed! This is the use it or lose it type of thing. There is a simple trick that gives you the best of both worlds...or at least I think so. I use a credit cards to pay for most everything, but I pay off the balance every month. One card gets things like the cell phone bill and cable tv charged to it and the other I use for gas and groceries type of things. Not going over the budget is the hard part. I check my credit report bi-monthly and my accounts always show a balance, yet I paid my accounts off even before the bill was due. Best part is...my credit score is rockin!
