<prompt> Human: My husband and I are in our early thirties and have been debt-free for a few years, including student loans yay us. But 2015 had unexpected and costly surprises in store and we racked up quite a bit on our emergency credit card. Recently I received an email from our credit card company about holiday sales for the reward program. Not in the habit of using our credit card I had no idea what the reward program was so I checked it out. Bada bing bada boom I just got 200 bucks in Amazon gift cards, making what was going to be a meek Christmas for our kiddos a little more jolly!Now Im wondering if Ive been doing this all wrong. Once weve tackled the current debt beast ETA next summer, is it wise to use the credit card for everyday expenses as long as you can pay it off every month? Or is it too much of a temptation to spend beyond what you should?TIA for any advice or insight!  <response>: is it wise to use the credit card for everyday expenses as long as you can pay it off every month?Yes. Or is it too much of a temptation to spend beyond what you should?Thats 100 a personal choice and not something anyone can answer for you.Do you have an emergency fund? I suggest you read how to handle in the sidebar if you havent.
