<prompt> Human: Probably asked this a ton, but currently stuck using my phone and searching hasnt helped. Short and sweet of it: I have a 1500 statement due on the 1st. I might just have enough cash to pay it in full I always have paid my cards off in full every month, but itll be tight. Should I pay in full or would it be ok to pay half now and the rest when I get the chance next month. Long version:I am only 24, have a good credit score 750 ish, and 5 lines of credit two credit cards, two other credit cards that are only used for financing, one of which is paid off and unused since, and a 6 year loan that was just opened two months ago. I can make the monthly payment on the loan currently, I already paid one cards statement, so currently only needing to pay the 1500 bill. I realize I let things get out of hand, though its mostly been for helping a friend out of a tight spot the last three months.Is it a terrible thing to only pay off half the statement now? My debt next month is not going to be as much as this month, which is why Id like to push it off a little. Id take out a loan, but already have one recently started.  <response>: Maintaining liquidity is priority number one. Dont pay any amount that might cause you to get NSF fees. You need to maintain a certain level of cash to avoid critical failure.Beyond that, do aggressively pay off the CC with additional resources. Having to float a small amount on the card is fine.The rule of thumb here is to pay down CCs using all amounts not necessary to avoid critical failure.
