Default How do you pay for your mods?

Just wanted to see what everyone's finances are like when modding their car. I would like to do a ton more, but do i rack up cc debt and pay it off or wait and be fiscally responsible? I would think everytime i hear the s/c kick in would make those monthly payments to the cc company easier.

you can put it on your card......but you may regret it......if you can be responsible with your credit and buy one thing.....then pay it off as soon as you can.....then buy somethig else that's a good way to go......but if you're going to buy something on your card and just make minimum payments that's a big mistake.

my girlfriend has a huge amount of credit card debt........and if we make the minimum payment on it which is like 360 bucks.....something like 8 dollars goes to principle....the rest is interest and finance charges.......so don't use your card if you can only make the minimum.

me personally i prefer to either use cash......or use my card if i have the cash and just pay it all off in one payment.

I dont buy mods unless I have the cash to pay it off immediately. Thats why it takes me so long to buy mods, especially since im a college student and only able to work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday right now sicne i go to class all day on Tuesday and THursday.

+1 Debit card is the way 2 go since it's the closest thing to web ca$h. I usually pay my bills when i get paid then see what i have left to play with.

if used responsibly credit cards are the easiest way to establish and maintain good credit.
