    Begin Financial Success with These Tips

    When you’re first starting out it is detrimental that you have some kind of capital AKA money handy or liquid. Having money in a savings account with around $1,000 to $2,000 is very essential. Having 3 to 6 months worth of expenses saved up is the next step up. You want to tackle your high interest debt though after the $1,000 or $2,000 saved. Start saving and paying off debt then you start investing.

    Save up $1,000 to $2,000

    Nearly 43% to 53% of Americans do not have enough money to cover $1,000 worth of expenses in case of emergency. That means 110 million to 135 million people can’t cover $1,000 worth of expenses in case of an emergency. Nearly 3 out of 10 Americans don’t have any savings at all.

    It is very essential for you to have $1,000 to $2,000 saved up in case of an emergency. Let’s say your kid breaks their arm or you get a flat tire, so you don’t go into debt you can pay with that $1,000 or $2,000 saved up.

    Once you have $1,000 or $2,000 saved up start tackling the high interest Debt

    Always make your minimum payments but once you save some money if you can then start going after your high interest debt. You can do the debt Snowball method where you pay the lowest amount of debt in a single credit card or loan first so that once you pay off the full amount of the lowest credit card or loan you feel good. It’s psychologically proven it makes you want to pay off the rest of the debt and it feels good when you pay off some of it. The debt Avalanche means you go after the high interest debt first and pay off the highest standing balance or highest interest so that the interest payments shrinks along with your balance.

    Once you save a bit and start attacking your debt saves 3 to 6 months worth of expenses and start investing.

    You really want to save three to six months worth of expenses just in case you lose your job so that you won’t be left hurting if you don’t have a job. You want to do that as fast as possible but at the same time while you’re saving and if you’re debt is all paid off you can start investing.

    Start investing after you’ve saved up money and paid off your debt

    Once you’ve saved up enough money to feel comfortable in case of emergency or for a big purchase or an investment also don’t forget if you lose your job, those are the reasons why you saved that money. After all that and you’re done paying off your debt start investing into stocks, ETFs, real estate. The thing that made most people wealthy in this country and world are stocks, real estate and businesses.

  • Simple Steps on How Your Credit Works

    Simple Steps on How Your Credit Works

    Simple Steps on How Your Credit Works

    This is how your credit works in layman’s terms. Get your credit where it needs to be by following simple steps. Your credit utilization needs to be low, under 30% preferably. Make sure you have an outstanding payment history; 100% payments on time is the best. Have a lot of time that you have the credit open and have a few accounts open. Do your best not to get derogatory marks like collections. Plus, don’t get too many hard inquiries, which is when you sign up for a line of credit and don’t get approved. Keep your credit in good standing.

    Credit Utilization

    Credit utilization is the ratio of your current credit card balances to your credit limits. It’s crucial to maintain a low utilization rate to enhance your credit score; ideally, it should be below 30%. This means if you have a credit limit of $10,000, you should strive to keep your balance at $3,000 or lower. A lower utilization rate indicates to lenders that you are not overly reliant on credit and can manage your finances effectively. You should pay off the full balance if you can each month so your utilization is 0% but it’s difficult at times so do your best to keep it as low as possible.

    Payment History

    Your payment history is one of the most significant factors affecting your credit score. This section reflects how consistently you pay your bills on time. Maintaining a record of 100% on-time payments can significantly boost your creditworthiness. Late payments, defaults, and bankruptcies can stay on your credit report for several years and adversely impact your score, so it’s imperative to set up reminders or automatic payments to avoid missed payments.

    Derogatory Marks

    Derogatory marks are negative entries on your credit report that indicate financial distress, such as collections or bankruptcies. These marks can have a lasting effect on your credit score and make it harder for you to qualify for loans or credit in the future. To prevent derogatory marks, always open new accounts that you can manage and promptly resolve any overdue debts. Remember, addressing issues before they escalate is key to maintaining a healthy credit history.

    Credit Age

    Credit age, also known as “length of credit history,” refers to how long your credit accounts have been active. A longer credit history is generally seen as favorable because it provides lenders with a better overview of your credit behavior over time. To increase your credit age, keep your old accounts open, even if you don’t use them often. This shows a longer history of credit management, which can help improve your credit score.

    Total Accounts

    The total number of accounts you have open also plays a role in your credit score. Lenders typically prefer to see a mix of credit types, including revolving accounts (like credit cards) and installment accounts (like mortgages or auto loans). Having a healthy variety of accounts signals to lenders that you can responsibly manage different types of credit. However, be cautious not to open too many accounts at once, as this can lead to more hard inquiries, which we’ll discuss next.

    Hard Inquiries

    Hard inquiries occur when you apply for new credit, and the lender checks your credit report as part of their approval process. While a few hard inquiries are normal, too many in a short period can lower your credit score. To minimize impact, space out your applications and consider checking pre-approval options that typically result in a soft inquiry instead. Staying conscious of hard inquiries and limiting them will help maintain your credit score.

    By understanding these essential components of credit, you can take effective steps to improve your credit score over time. For personalized advice and further guidance, feel free to explore my Financial Consultation services or subscribe to our site for more tips and updates.
