Mortgages and Loans: The Basics of Borrowing
Big loans make some people squeamish. This used to surprise me. I wondered how, for example, a client could talk openly about life insurance, with its end-of-life implications, then get sweaty palms over a mortgage refinance. Another client might, after systematically considering the need for disability insurance, balk at a mortgage equity line of credit […]

6 Things That People Finance That Leave Me Speechless
Too many people finance things in today’s loan-happy world that we live in. By signing up for financing or paying for a purchase with a credit card, you may think that item is more “affordable” due to the fact that you aren’t paying for it with money that you already have. And, just because the […]

How to cancel a credit card (without killing your credit score)
I have a credit card I’d like to cancel, but I don’t know if I should. I’m afraid it’ll hurt my credit score. Today I’m going to walk you through in real time as I evaluate this decision. Then I’m going to explain how to cancel a credit card, no matter why you want to do so.
I normally don’t pay much attention to my credit score. I know that it ranges between 800 and 820, so I don’t worry about it. With a score like that, I’m considered to have “exceptional credit”, and that’s good enough for me. (Kim’s very proud that she has a higher credit score than I do, by the way.)
That said, for the past several years I’ve been carrying a credit card that I don’t want or need. It’s a Chase British Airways card that I signed up for in 2011. It’s a fine card, but I never use it because I have better ones. My primary credit card right now is the Chase Sapphire Reserve, which I use for 99% of my personal credit transactions.
Basically, I’m paying $75 per year — the British Airways card’s annual fee — for nothing…except to maintain my credit score. I don’t like it. I’d rather cancel the card and take a temporary hit to my credit. But is it bad to cancel a credit card? And if it’s bad, how bad is it?
I’ve decided to document the process! Let’s find out together.
