So we aren't in debt, and are doing pretty ok in terms of being able to pay our monthly bills.
I just don't feel like I have a handle on our credit cards. Perhaps there's an app that helps manage credit cards? For example, it would let me know how much I need to have available for a certain date, how I can divide my balance, but not let it stretch to the point of racking up interest...
Any ideas/methods that Imas can share in being on top of your credit cards?

Why do you spread your spending over so many cards that it's hard to keep track of them all? For me, the only reason to do so would be if you're playing the points game and need to meet lots of sign-up bonuses. Otherwise, I would try to keep all your spending on one, or maximum 2, cards, which should be easier to keep track of and also will make it clear just how much you're spending and where the money is going.

It's not so spread out.
I actually only use 2 cards. It's just that I don't feel I have a handle on it. The statement comes. I just need something to make it clearer in my mind.

What about the cc website or app? they have become much more user friendly, and if you check every few days you can see your updated balance and your due date and all of that. By the time your statement comes it is a few weeks after all the spending.

With only 2 cards, you can sign up to receive emails when your statement posts, 10 days before payment is due, and confirmation that it went through. You can also sign up for auto-pay if that will help you avoid forgetting.
