Credit card companies are jacking up interest rates, lowering credit limits, and closing accounts - and people who have made timely payments are not exempt. So even if you pay off your balance - and that's tough when interest rates are insanely high - there's a good chance your credit limit will be slashed, and that will hurt your FICO score.

From Suze Orman

The less money you owe, the less income you'll need and the less you'll have to save for tomorrow.

From Suze Orman

Once your kids are grown and you know that you're completely healthy, consider canceling your life insurance policy.
