Start to think about some of the ways that having good credit can help you, or better yet, how can it make your life easier?
Consider the items on the slide. So many things, even basic everyday items, are dependent on good credit.
Take, for example, renting an apartment. If two people apply for the same unit, one with good credit and one with a history of late payments or eviction, to whom would you be more likely to rent the apartment?
Good credit is also important to keep your other rates low. Some insurance companies, for example, are using credit reports and credit scores to determine rates on auto and homeowner’s insurance. The lower your credit score, the higher your insurance premiums will be.
