Make payments on monthly. Do you mean you pay off the statement balance each month in full otherwise how are you not paying interest (aside from a zero apr card).

If you have the cash to there is no reason not to pay off the full statement balance each month.

Yes I pay the statement balance in full, and usually some stuff thatā€™s not on that statement will be there that just goes over to the next pay period and so on that isnā€™t due yet.

Thatā€™s not carrying a balance then and itā€™s how you are ā€œsupposedā€ to use a credit card

When I say carry a balance I just meant the new stuff thatā€™s not in the previous statement stays there. Sorry if my terminology isnā€™t accurate.

No worries I just want to be clear for the OP.
