My credit limit is many times higher than the amount of money I keep in my current account and that's only for a single card. It's very, very easy to overspend on a credit card and after you've done it once it can be difficult to recover.

The entire financial world is designed to exploit people who are not very good with money.

Err, reduce your credit limit then, if you're worried about it?

I buy all my groceries on my credit card, basically get a 30-day, interest free-loan on food all year round.
