How many is too many credit cards?

[Anonymous]

We have a joint visa, and I have a mc. Any more is ridiculous, IMO. Why would you need more than that? Seems riskier in so many ways.

Only exceptions are huge purchases like car/house/similarly expensive which are obviously too much to pay in cash. I don't use my credit cad for anything ever and feel very good not having any uncontrollable debt that I can't even keep track of anymore

OK, grandma. 1994 is calling, they want you back!

Ok, spendthrift. 2007 is calling, time to be more financially mature!
