What You Should Do With All Your Zero Balance Credit Cards

Managing credit cards is a huge part of your financial wellness, so optimizing the amount of credit cards and your access to credit is very important in establishing a good credit history in case you need a loan. 

What should you do with all your credit cards that sit dormant and have a zero balance? If you have ever wondered this, then you should be really careful before you cancel a card. While it is usually better to just leave the account open at zero balance, if the bank starts charging fees or if those cards at zero balance extend your available credit to too high a number, you may want to consider closing the account. However, be extremely prudent when you close a credit card because it can have adverse effects on your credit score.

5 Common First Time Home Buyer Mistakes

1. They don’t ask enough questions of their lender and end up missing out on the best deal.

2. They don’t act quickly enough to make a decision and someone else buys the house.

3. They don’t find the right agent who’s willing to help them through the homebuying process.

4. They don’t do enough to make their offer look appealing to a seller.

5. They don’t think about resale before they buy. The average first-time buyer only stays in a home for four years.
