credit score
wilber asked:


Is it better to pay off your credit card statement in full each month or should you leave a small balance each month, like $5? I’ve heard conflicting things. For example, paying each bill in full is better for your credit score versus leaving a $5 dollar balance. I’ve heard leaving a (small) balance is supposed to show that you know how to pay off a debt and help your credit score even more. I don’t know what to believe. Your thoughts?

    Definitely pay them all off. Its better for your credit, and better for your conscience.
    Best way to accomplish this is by using a debt elimination calendar or to get a consolidation loan. Either way you’re paying off the credit cards.
