I get that you have a limited timeframe to utilize your new credit line, and game plan, but also understand that the gurus don't always have your best personal finance interest in mind when they helped you get 8 credit cards. 

Welcome to the game Courtney!

Learn a bit, then get in the game sooner than later. 

It is a GREAT way to get started learning the REI game wile making some money (and some free rent) with hardly any money out of your pocket!

It's just part of the game, if you decide to play.  

My name is Matt Virnau, and I am from La Grange, TX.  I am Active Duty Military currently stationed in Western Washington, but my plan is to eventually make my way back to the great state of Texas! I just put my first...

On the other hand if you don't understand it and don't educate yourself about it you should be in that game anyway.

Sounds like a good game plan Ryan.

I am ready to get back into the game.

Then you play the follow-up game!
