Description

Discover a unique credit card management strategy that prioritizes financial security over credit scores. A woman in her late forties, after losing her husband, developed a habit of paying off each credit card purchase immediately, keeping her balance at zero. This approach, while unconventional, has helped her stick to her budget and avoid financial trouble. However, it may slightly impact her credit score as major credit bureaus prefer some activity on credit cards. Despite this, her method offers peace of mind and serves as a reminder that the best financial habits are those that make you feel secure daily.
