1. What credit card companies want,
ideally, is to keep you in the maximum amount of debt you can support without going bankrupt.

3. I ahve been paying down my credit cards since the new rules went into effect.
By next May, I will have paid them all off. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

They killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

4. Congratulations!
It's great to use *them* instead of having them using you.
