I've recently opened up two credit cards after several years of financial manipulation by my soon to be ex-wife. I'm super pumped to use them so I can improve my credit (which isn't currently terrible, but it's not amazing) and get some of that cash back.

Just don't be a dumbass like my ex. She maxed out her card (hitting like a 7k limit), took out a loan to pay it off, and then maxed it out again like two months later. It was an absolutely garbage card too with no rewards or real benefits. And because it was maxed out, she could never get approved for another card. When she paid it off, I actually did a ton of research to find better cards for her so she could get cashback and other stuff. She never got around to it though and maxed it out again. Blows my mind. She made good money too; she just lived way beyond her means.
