My credit card bill is due again?

Just a few months ago my credit card bill came, and I had no money to pay it. So I did the sensible thing and ordered a new credit card with an even greater spending limit, because I obviously couldn't just stop buying new shoes and eating out at fancy places in order to save money. Well long story short the bill on that new credit card is due already, and now I'm thinking I should get yet another new credit card to pay it off. I did have an internal debate with myself about this, and what made the most since to me was the argument that I can't get out of debt without going further into debt. Also, raising the limit doesn't actually mean that I go further into debt, since I'm only doing it so I can pay off my dues. Besides, if I don't do this I will ruin my credit, and that would be bad because I can't possibly make money as fast as I spend it, so I will of course always have to borrow. I'm just wondering if people on YA can agree with me that this is a good, sustainable and healthy way of doing things.

    Are you speaking for the morons in Congress and the White House? If so, the answer is HELL NO!! if not, the answer is "Go for it. I ain't paying the bill".

    And it never occurred to you to get a second job? To pay for the things you want.

    You could always just take a credit downgrade than pay a bill. That's how Republicans rolled during the debt ceiling talks.

    I assume you have a job so you're getting a paycheck all the time. Just don't pay any bills because you can spend your money better than your landlord. So what if you're homeless while the interest and late fees rack up. You got new shoes.
