Americans’ Savings Behavior and Credit Card Tips [Infographic]
Recently, BillShrink released an infographic about savings and credit card payoff trend based on their user data as a litmus test for Americans’ behavior.

@Krantcents: Spending less than you earn — on credit or otherwise — is the first step to financial success.
I have used your points forever. Taking control of your spending is the first step to achieve control of your debt. Never buy anything on your credit card that you cannot pay off at the end of the month. If you have debt, have a plan to pay it down as soon as possible.
