It’s called the debt snowball. Pay the minimum payment on all but the lowest debt. Wipe that debt out. Then apply what you were paying on the lowest to the next lowest and wipe IT out. It snowballs from there.

@Harmonic Ok so maybe the US is strange… You get scored on your bank account by your bank, that’s how you get credit and there are agencies that score you.

Here’s a tip: DON’T USE CREDIT CARDS!!!!!
Harmonic
February 3, 2021 at 6:32 pm
Good luck building a solid credit history with a good score without them, then good luck getting a car loan or mortgage. The key is to use them as a financial tool, not a shopping convenience.

A tip I recently learned, especially helpful if you’re near the limit and paying a lot of interest: make a big payment on your credit card when you get paid, then use it for every necessary purchase you can, like groceries, gas, certain bills, etc. They calculate how much interest to charge you based on each day’s balance, so the more days with a lower balance the better. In other words, if you just have cash in your checking account for several days you’re wasting the opportunity to pay less interest on your credit card.
Travis Johnson

She forgot to mention a very important tip. If you’re trying to improve your credit quickly, paying off the lowest balances first will raise your credit quickly because it lowers your overall credit card usage the most.
DTHRocket
February 3, 2021 at 6:45 pm
So what? The point is to not be on debt.
Travis Johnson
February 3, 2021 at 7:11 pm
@DTHRocket some people are trying to improve their credit as well… for example if you’re planning on applying for a loan, and want the best way to improve your score more quickly

@DTHRocket I increased my credit score by 50 points just by paying of some a couple $300 credit cards
DTHRocket
February 3, 2021 at 6:42 pm
1. Pay off the lowest debt first and pay the monthly minimum on all the rest. 2. When you pay off that card, apply what you were paying in it to the next lowest. You will snowball from there. 3. Keep a budget and stick to it.

Well in America sometimes that hospital bill hits and you don’t have thousands in your account. So the credit is a lifesaver. Happened to my mom last year.

@David Yeah, unfortunately there’s not the cheaper subsidized/universal health care in the U.S.A. 😢
Arthur Mathews
February 4, 2021 at 10:54 am
@JammastaJ23 There is no such thing as a free lunch. Credit cards are an inefficient system by its idea, social implications and higher prices as a result of ‘extra fee without higher price’ policy. Sure, in the USA paying with a credit card is a good idea, but that doesn’t make it a good system for the economy/welfare/society.
saiberfun
February 4, 2021 at 11:37 am
@David Which is why universal healthcare would help.
As a german I do have 1 credit running for my car and that’s it.
And even that I would not necessarily have needed to do. But i just wanted something new/safer which I actually didn’t have the money for at that time.
I could have kept driving my Peugeot 206 anyways 😀
I got 1 Credit Card. But I don’t use it at all. I only registered that for free because some hotels require a creditcard for registration as a safety if you want to pay in person and not upfront.
JammastaJ23
February 5, 2021 at 6:41 am
@Arthur Mathews It makes a lot of sense as an individual. The prices we pay for things in the US are maybe trivially higher because the cc fees are charged on the back end for retailers, but those prices are the same for everyone so you’re dumb in the US not to have a rewards card. Like I probably get $500 – $800 of net rewards in a given year (rewards – fee) depending on what the spending is on. Also I’m fine paying an extra 1% – 2% on goods because I honestly don’t really care that much if my credit card is stolen, there are pretty generous fraud protections so I’m likely not on the hook if there are fraudulent charges. Whereas with a debit card that’s money straight out of your bank account and it’s a much more difficult process (generally) to get back money from fraudulent purchases. Obviously having any additional companies involved in retail transactions drives up the transaction costs, and yes you’re probably right that there’s not a lot of economic benefit provided. But as the system exists right now using debit cards in the US is dumb and you’re just subsidizing the rewards points programs for everyone else. This system isn’t sustainable forever, probably, but for now that’s how it works.

My spouse is a doyen. We have really done a few good on our credit reports. We have been trying to raise our scores to mid-800 his score is 519 while mine is still in the high 500’s. (I think is 536 currently.) I also have a judgement against me for a credit card. The judgement doesn’t appear anymore on my credit report, I assume because it’s over 6 years old. I’m pretty sure it didn’t just “go away”. All effort to increase my credit score and eliminate all the negative items on my report proved abortive until I saw good remarks of how this credit expert ”Michael Gibbs” had helped people. Here is his contact [[email protected]]. He did a monumental job by helping us raise our credit score to 826 and 814 respectively and removed all the negative items replacing them with beautiful tradelines. Just a couple of days after, we fixed agreement. Thanks am highly indebted Jack. He can be reached via his email for fast response [[email protected]]..

This video seems the equivalent to teaching people how to properly swim with chains around their necks. Then blaming them for lack of swimming form instead of simply noting the massive fucking chain around their neck. The chain in this example being the united corporations of America and the fact that corporate greed has infected every single aspect of American life, making life for all but the most entitled almost impossible. This video of mis-directed information being a prime example of that suffocating machine in action. You don’t even know how evil what you are doing is, and that is the magic of the corporate owned duopoly.

tip: treat your credit card like a debit card. pay your credit balance in full at the end of every month. if you don’t have the money to make payments, you shouldn’t be using the credit card and you shouldn’t be maxing it out.
