saving spending and credit

Credit Rating = Your Door to Opportunity

Your saving and spending habits have a profound effect on your financial future. Your use of credit -- how much you accumulate and how responsibly you use it -- also plays a pivotal role. Your credit rating is based on your credit history. A poor credit rating may cause you to be turned down for future loans and credit cards. Which of these other life opportunities can it affect?

  1. Your ability to buy a car, pay for college, or rent or buy a home
  2. Your ability to obtain life insurance
  3. Your ability to get certain jobs, such as those that require security clearances or involve handling money

Your credit rating may affect you in ALL these ways. Maintaining a good credit rating is vital, because it has a strong impact on your quality of life.
