Most financial advisors frown on credit cards.  This isn’t to say that they disapprove of their use, but rather that they recognize the potential for misuse outweighs the benefits for many people.  That said, if you’re prepared to be fiscally responsible with them, they can be put to work saving you money.  You just have to observe a few simple rules.

First, secure one credit card.  The interest rate doesn’t matter, but make sure there aren’t any extra fees.  If you’re new to the world of credit cards, you might have to accept fees for a couple of years, but the savings are worth it.  In a very short period of time, we’ll use this cards to improve your credit score and lower your interest rates on traditional loans.  In fact, if you’ve never had credit before, this is one of the best ways you to build your score.

For the next eight months, all you need to do is switch regular purchases from payment by check or debit card to your credit card, making sure to pay the balance in full every month.  Ideally you’ll be charging at least $250 per month, but not more than $1,000.

This improves your credit score because of the following three key areas:

It establishes financial strength by showing that you have enough income to meet your expenses and still pay your card balance in full each month.
It shows that you are fiscally responsible, by not carrying balances long enough to require interest payment.

It builds a history of making consistent payments.

In about a year other credit card companies with lower interest rates and no annual fees will start mailing you offers.  Select two with the lowest interest rates, and accept their offers.

Now start paying most of your bills with these cards, and before the second year is up get rid of the card with the annual fees.  You can also accept other low interest cards as you receive offers, but try not to keep more than three or four cards.  Also keep in mind number three from above.  An established credit history is very valuable.

Within two years you will have significantly improved your credit score, ideally without paying a dime in the process.  If you were just starting out with credit, you might have had to pay yearly fees for the two years on your card, but they shouldn’t have been more than $300.  In 2013 the average monthly payment in America for a 3 year $20,000 auto loan was $700 for a credit score under 620, and $585 for a score of 720 or more.  That’s a difference of $115 a month!  By using credit cards to build up your credit score, you’re saving almost $4,000.

So, the next time someone suggests that credit cards might not be a good idea, keep in mind that they are a financial tool.  A tool can be misused, but as the old parable goes, it is a poor carpenter who blames his tools.  Manage your cards wisely, and you can work your way from a high interest rate one that’s much more favorable for a fraction of the interest you might have otherwise paid.

Think wisely before you speak and listen intently to the people with fruit on the tree. Break down the barrier of stubbornness and pride otherwise you'll always be a part of the crowd..
