Got my first credit card. Never wanted one but this is the only way i know how to build credit and get my scores up. How long till you start seeing improvement to your credit score after paying it off every month on time??

Also you’ll need more than 1 line of credit to make any difference. I bought a brand new car at age 19 and my score went way up after I paid it off. I also had a student loan that I paid off early and my score went up then too. Lots of things influence your score.
Dang just now? I got mine when I was 18. My credit score is in the mid 700s now. It takes a long time, but better late than never.
Yea. No way was I ready for a credit card at 18. Especially with not understanding it completely. I have already been talking to my 12 year old about credit and how important it is. Lol no one ever talked me about any of that. Basically figured it out on my own
@anicole3285, yeah they should really be teaching this in high school but instead we learn useless algebra 🙄
GET👏🏼IT👏🏼FROM👏🏼YOUR👏🏼BANK!!!
Get a secured credit card and in 6 months your credit will be fixed ... I don’t know why I see a lot of women on here saying it takes years when it really doesn’t !!
@anicole3285, I’d keep the one you have too pay it on time though ... seriously !
Go with Lexington Law. I was with them before but had to drop them when coronavirus came. The prices aren't bad each month & they work with you to get things off of your credit that's negative.
Don’t ever use the entire balance (recommended to not use over 30% of the limit)
Make the minimum payment on time all the time.
Don’t use it and pay off in the same month. It will look like you never use the card. Creditors want to see you can maintain a payment history.
Use less than 20% of your available limit and pay it off monthly
The best thing to do is charge your gas or groceries and then pay it completely off every month. Lenders don’t like to see maxed out cards. You should start seeing your score go up in a few months.
Years and years lmaoo the more you check it the more it goes down too but I don’t got a credit card I can’t even get a old navy card 🤣
I heard that. But I also heard credit karma doesn't cause it to go down, that's what I use
It’s not only paying it off every month, it’s also about how long you’ve had one and keeping your debt to credit ratio low. But it depends on what your past credit history is, if you have any, or if you’re starting completely from scratch. My husband had credit in the low 500s when we got married and now it’s great.
Mine is higher 500s. It's been between 450 and 598 for the past 6 years. So not good at all
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
