We don't take credit for our accomplishments. I can't tell you how many times you'll say to a woman, 'Oh God, what you did was so great', and they say, 'Really? I didn't think it was that good.' ↗

Credit card companies are jacking up interest rates, lowering credit limits, and closing accounts - and people who have made timely payments are not exempt. So even if you pay off your balance - and that's tough when interest rates are insanely high - there's a good chance your credit limit will be slashed, and that will hurt your FICO score. ↗

Late payments also hurt your FICO score. And never, ever take out a cash advance on your credit card. ↗

I have always advocated doing everything possible to pay off credit card balances; it's good financial management and the ticket to a strong FICO credit score. ↗

I love, love, love that you want to use your debit card. But to keep your credit score solid, you still need to keep a few credit cards and use them at least once every few months. ↗

If the only way you can build an emergency fund is to pay the minimum due on your credit card, that is what you need to do. ↗

Make it a priority to have at least eight months of living costs set aside in a federally insured bank or credit union account. ↗

The man who can speak acceptably is usually given credit for an ability out of all proportion to what he really possesses. ↗
