We paid ours off when we refinanced to a fixed mortgage and have one that we
do not use, "in case of emergency." I pay for everything, including most of
the bills, with debit cards. I keep most of our money in accounts not
connected to the debit cards, and simply transfer online what we need for
bills, groceries, doctor visits, vet visits, whatever, to the debit card I
intend to use. So there is never more than a few hundred bucks on any debit
card. I pay the mortgage straight from an account that is not connected to
any debit card. After what the cc companies have been pulling, I never want
to use another credit card.
