I also do the same, paying them off each month, but must admit I put almost everything on my cards to get the "frequent flier miles". It adds up to get a free flight or two. But the key is to pay them off each month or it's not worth it! Congratulations on being so diligent.

Putting stuff on credit cards and allowing the interest to build is not the way to go. I make sure that I pay the full balance of my credit card each month so I don't have to pay the credit card companies any of my money. The key is, spend what you have.

Yikes! It certainly is the beginning of the season when people start thinking Fall trips, Thanksgiving, holiday travel and gifts. It's easy to not pay attention to a budget if one's not "observant".

Often times peer pressure is the culprit for sending the budget into the cooler and operating on deficit. The temptation to match-up with the higher class is always there. @Brad The Jonesses are the hypothetical "Stupendously Rich Next Door Neighbours" or call it the Millionaire next door who is flaunting money and spending lavishly on all the kind of luxury one may dream off. Well sometime it may just be a friend or neighbour with a higher income. But who wants to admit that. If he can buy a Posche and we are in the same neighbourhood, I can get one too, even if I have to use bank CREDIT! ;-) Thanks Janet for this reminder.
