Priya Malani, a founding partner at Stash Wealth, recommends thinking about whether you can truly afford the items that you are buying before charging anything to your card.
储备财富公司的联合创始人普利亚·马拉尼提议,在把帐记到卡上之前,考虑一下你是否真的买得起这些你打算购买的物品。
"Remember, never put something on your credit card that you can't pay for in full when the statement is due, or else you're using your credit card to live a lifestyle you can't afford," Malani said.
“记住,永远不要用信用卡购买那些账单到期时你无法全额付清的物品,否则你就在用信用卡过一种你负担不起的生活,”马拉尼说道。
