My first credit card!

Yep, this week I got my first credit card! I am ecstatic to have it. Not just for raising my okay credit, but because I needed tires on my car. That was the first thing I did. I went out and got a set of tires. It was nice to see new tires on my car, especially since a week ago my front right tire went flat. I was surprised that the other front tire didn’t go too. They both were warped, overly bald, and had wires showing like crazy. I was lucky to make it as far as I did and for those tires to last as long as they did. Then, yesterday, on the way home from work, I stopped and used the card for a full tank of gas. That is as much as I will use it for until I pay off what I already purchased. I don’t have that high of a limit, but it sure as hell helped! When I do get my taxes back I will go and pay off most of what I spent, excluding the charge for the card itself. That way I will still be able to build the credit up. I am very thankful for this piece of plastic. It has helped tremendously already. Now, we just need to get our taxes and start saving along with our credit building!
