Invest in one or two credit cards. Pay in cash as much as possible and reserve credit card use only for emergency purposes or any planned spending. You may allocate a certain amount each week or month to be paid via credit card like grocery shopping. This way, you will know exactly how much interest to pay and you won’t go overboard with compulsive spending.
Always keep your accounts positive. Avoid reaching zero in credit or going bankrupt. Federal or state taxes are the usual culprits in most people’s accounts reaching below the minimum. Too little credit or bankruptcy will be shown in your credit report and will remain for several years. You need to always make sure that you pay taxes properly and on time.
