    Finally I paid my credit card. It is feeling excellent. Should I cancel my credit card account and stay debt free? or what?

      you should use the card in moderation and pay your balance off every month and it will greatly improve your credit and you will pay zero interest

      No-leave it open, if you close it it will lower your credit score. If your worried you might use it- freeze it in ice, stupid but if you have to un-thaw it it makes you reckon twice about using it. You also need a cc to rent a car, or reserve a hotel room so keep it and congrats on being debt free!

      If you have discipline the best thing for your credit score is to use the card and pay off in full every month.

      If not keep it open, but cut up the card.
