Credit Card Tip:
If you have a credit card and a child, add your child to the card as an authorized user and pay your bills on time.
When your kid turns 18 they should have a 800+ credit score.
With great credit, they can get a rental property at 18.
Credit Score Tip:
The easiest way to raise your credit score is by lowering credit utilization.
You can boost your score by using less than 30% of your total credit line. Asking for higher credit card limits can help with this.
A good credit score can help you qualify for a mortgage, car loan, or credit card with a low-interest rate, which can save you thousands of dollars in the long run.
It can also make it easier to rent an apartment or open a new utility account.
I love using credit cards due to the benefits associated with them.
I always pay my credit card balances off in full each month, so credit cards are an asset and not a liability for me.
My rule is I never spend what I cannot pay off in 30 days.
If you pay cards on time and in full, rewards points & cash back are "free money". What's your favorite card?
