Yeah, be careful with outstanding balances (and stupid girlfriends who suck you dry like a leech). I never carried a balance, probably for 2 years. Then one month, after stupidly moving in with a girlfriend (Never do that, either, by the way, unless you're really damn sure you want to), I left a balance on there from buying crap for the apartment because we were both broke. I thought I'd pay it off in a month or two, no big deal. Well, that was 1999, and now I have a $7500 balance that I can't get rid of, paying $100 a month in interest. So get rid of that balance as soon as you can, or your credit card company will own you forever.
