Which of the following is least likely to be a warning sign that one's debt is at a critical point?

Having several credit cards by itself does not necessarily mean someone’s debt is at a critical point; the person might manage them responsibly. By contrast, maxed-out cards, making only minimum payments, and using cash advances to pay bills are signs of serious financial strain. So “having several credit cards” is least likely to be a warning sign.
