Just a few days ago, I talked about credit cards.  Specifically, I mentioned that I had some financial chores to do in my household like I do every year.  I just wanted to mention I found a new resource that anyone can use to compare credit cards: the Internet.

I guess you could call me a little slow when it comes to technology, but I realized this week I could use the Internet to help me deal with my finances.  What gets me that the Internet is such a great resource - but no one really mentions it.

The reason I call it a resource is that there is so much information at your fingertips.  You can find information about the credit cards that your financial institution uses but you can also find out about what the competition offers.  If you are looking for a particular card (for example cashback credit cards), you can actually compare credit cards side by side to see what the differences are.

Another thing to consider is that the Internet is a little more environmentally friendly.  I mentioned before that I grab a pile of brochures about credit cards, but by using the Internet to to your information gathering, you save trees from being cut down.

Sadly, I still haven’t made a decision yet as to what credit card I am going to get - but I am getting close.  I don’t feel that I need to rush as I don’t have any big purchase plans for the new card I get, rather I am just trying to see if I can save myself money if I switch credit card companies - something I look at every year.
