ive had gnma since...

i dont want to influence anyone, but ive had vanguard gnma since 1990 when the nav was 9.90. since then, the nav has moved up and down, but never in extremes. the interest rates have gone up and down accordingly. the highest nav that i have seen was after the bust in 2000 when it went up to 10.63. today it is at 10.49. so for 19 years, ive read all the pros and cons, but stayed the course. its been a very good fund for me.

keep them. you seem to be managing your credit very well.

it would be better to pay in full every month, but since you pay a certain portion every month, try to pay more than the minimum. it will help your score.

the biggest reason why your score is so good is because credit bureaus, etc. look at how you manage your money with your available credit. so by not charging so much on the other two cards definitely hasn't hurt you.
