With everyone spending more than they save, it's no wonder that
credit card debt is at an all time high. But just because everyone else
is in trouble doesn't make it a non-issue. Credit card debt not only
ruins your credit score, but it can also hurt your future and your
sense of security as well.
The precious credit score
The newest number that everyone is talking about is their credit score.
With a good credit score, you can get better credit card offers, better
interest rates for houses and cars, and you can get bigger loans than
others with lower credit scores. And the truth is that most people
don't know what their credit score is.
When you carry high balances on your credit cards, these balances are
reported back to the credit reporting agencies that in turn make
adjustments to your credit score. If you have large balances, it looks
like you're living beyond your means and thus you're not a good
candidate for future loans and your score is lowered.
If you have low balances (less than 50% of the limit) and pay your
bills on time, you will raise your credit score.
