For those who don’t have much cash stacked away, there is good news: credit cards can be your miracle in emergency type situations.
Credit cards can be an incredible tool to utilize to help get you by for a short or long season (depending on your credit limit).
Plan out how much your monthly expenses are, and then plan for how much you plan to use on your credit card each month.

Maintain a healthy credit score
Spend less money on interest
Keep making financial progress
