Student loans

If you have a hard time paying your federal student loans, there are still many options. Some of them might include an income-based repayment plan, deferment, and even possible loan forgiveness. Paying your student loan debt with your credit card will definitely increase the amount of interest you will pay on the debt. It doesn’t matter if you get a zero-percent introductory credit card offer, as it will expire over time.

Retail therapy

    So what the hell do you use your card for?? You’ve eliminated almost every normal expense or enjoyment of any everyday JOE. Granted I agree with half of your suggestions but enjoying an evening out with your wife? She deserves a nice evening out!!!
