See my blog on credit cards
Each monthly statement will have an itemized list of your total monthly purchases, which will help keep your spending under control. Another benefit you will reap when you use credit cards is the development of a positive credit score. Your credit score, or credit history, represents your financial maturity. A good credit score is indicative of someone who makes payments on time or pays the credit card balance off every month. When you apply for a loan, the company will first check your credit score.
