Is it better for your credit to pay all of your balances down to half or pay one or two in full?
Just make sure that your balances are below 30% of the credit limit. For example, if you have a credit card with a limit of $1,000, make sure that you do not leave a balance higher than $300 or lower. This is called utilization ratio and will increase your credit score. Just make sure you leave a little on you credit card to keep a higher score. I recommend that you set the money aside in an account that will allow you to pay off all debt at will but you are leaving a balance because it gives a better score.
