After You Retire:
Managing Your Expenses on a Fixed or Reduced Income
Be careful with credit cards. You'll probably find that credit cards in retirement are just as necessary as they were when you were younger. But be cautious with your credit cards. If you carry a large balance, you'll pay a lot of money in interest charges for a long time. If you have many accounts and get too deep in debt, your credit record could be damaged, which means you would have a tougher time getting the best deal the next time you apply for a loan, insurance or an apartment.
Another problem with having numerous credit cards is that if you're not closely monitoring your accounts, you can forget to send a payment (and incur late fees and additional finance charges) or you may not notice if a thief has stolen one of your cards and made purchases with it.
