We pay ours off every month, but I got an alert from the bank my credit score

took a dip when we bought our jeep on a credit card. It was almost the limit of the card.

At least we got a ton of miles for it.

But if you look at the average daily balance, I imagine we are pretty high since we put as many of our expenses as possible on the card.

I assume CC debt means an amount you're paying interest on. Not what you pay off

So you are saying you spend more than $8600/month on your credit card and pay it

Yes, but that includes business expenses on cards that were approved from my

Well business expenses would certainly increase the monthly charges. Makes sense

Responsible living with monthly CC expenses of $8600 would take about $200k

Yikes, I need to cut back. But what are those %?

Plato

50% fixed expenses, 30% discretionary, 20% savings

0. It gets paid off in full every month automatically.

Are you defining credit card debt as a balance that you don't pay off at the end

How are you defining cc debt?

Lame Poll...need to have a "I pay off every month option"

Zero. However, I find it annoying when I can't use a CC to pay for something.

Did the dealer charge a fee for that? If not, that's a fantastic deal

No. But we really wanted the specific car that was there and so we didn't haggle

I think it's a violation of their CC agreement to cap what you can pay on CC
