Managing a tight budget is stressful, especially when you are trying to keep your credit clean to buy a house. When cash is low, your credit score becomes your financial lifeline, and you must guard it fiercely.
First, never miss a minimum payment. Even if you cannot pay the full balance, paying the minimum by the due date keeps your payment history at 100%.
Second, keep your credit utilization low. If you must use your credit card for daily necessities like food and water, try to pay off small chunks as soon as you get any cash influx.
Protecting your score now ensures you qualify for the best rates when you are ready for major life milestones.
