There is no right or wrong answer to this question. But one thing we will say with certainty about this is that you should have as few as you can get by with. Everyone knows how easy it can be to overspend and get into some serious debt. Common sense tells us not to get in over our heads - but common sense is all too often not behind the decisions people make, especially about credit cards. Americans are used to instant gratification and being encouraged to shop. There’s nothing wrong with shopping as such, but credit card debt can quickly get out of hand as many Americans know all too well.
Credit cards are both a blessing and a curse for consumers - here are some important facts:
Fact # 1: The average cardholder has 7 cards: three issued by their bank and four from stores or gas stations. (statistic from www.cardweb.com)
Fact # 2: 60% of U.S. households account for as much as 560 billion dollars in credit card debt. This breaks down to an average of $11,000 per household. (Testimony by Robert Manning to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee)

If you are in the market for a home mortgage refinance loan, there are several things you need to know to avoid overpaying. Careful comparison shopping will help you avoid 90% of the mistakes homeowners make when refinancing their mortgage loans. Here are several tips to help get you started with a home mortgage refinance loan.
Mortgage with fixed interest rates are the traditional mortgage your parents had when they purchased a home. Fixed means the interest rate does not change for the duration of your mortgage. If you need minimal risk and a monthly payment amount you can plan your budget around, a fixed rate home mortgage refinance loan could be right for you.
Adjustable rate mortgages usually come with a low introductory interest rate; however, this interest rate is not fixed. Your lender will periodically adjust the interest rate and your payment amounts to the financial index your loan is tied to. This rate adjustment usually occurs annually; however, the exact timeframe for adjustments can be found in your loan contract. Adjustable Rate Mortgages are best suited for homeowners that know what they are getting into and have a high tolerance for financial risk.
