Real life tip/rant: last year, I paid off all of my credit card debt and my credit score JUMPED… I was so happy because I felt like I was making some real strides in my life.
But a few weeks ago, my credit score dropped 30 fucking points.
I was so lost and confused because I don’t owe anybody money and I don’t have a credit card.
Little did I know, that was the problem. If you are not actively building your credit MONTHLY, that shit will dropped.
The second you build any credit history, you need to keep building on it, unless your credit score is 0 (you don’t have to worry about that shit dropping obviously but you should start building credit history, maybe starting with a secured card).
Don’t let this shit happen to you.
