... Read moreThe average age of credit is a crucial factor in determining your credit score, which impacts your ability to borrow money. A longer credit history can indicate reliability to lenders, often resulting in better interest rates and loan offers. To improve your average age of credit, consider opening accounts early, even if you don't need them yet, and maintain older accounts to boost your credit profile. It's also beneficial to diversify your credit mix with different types of accounts, such as installment loans or credit cards. Remember, each account you open affects your credit age, so strategic planning is key. Understanding and improving your average age of credit not only enhances your credit score but also provides easier access to financial opportunities in the future.

Keep those accounts open and keep opening new ones. It hurts right away but in the long run you’ll be thankful! #credit #improvement #finance

Stretch it out by NOT paying off early. Debt that is over 4% should be paid as fast as possible… under 4% should be drawn out as long as possible while making the required minimum payment. #credit #improvement #finance

Put some cards away and use them every so often to keep accounts open. Set a calendar event for putting them in your wallet. Call the cc company and tell them you lost the card when it gets close to its expiration date. #credit #improvement #finance

Subject 1, Day 2: Components of Credit.
Credit is made up of 5 main categories. Payment history (35%), credit utilization (30%), average age of credit (15%), types of credit (10%), and hard inquiries (10%). To know these categories is to know where you can improve. #credit #improvement #finance

Subject 1, Day 4: Credit Utilization.
How much do you use your cards? You should aim to use less than 10% of your max utilization at any time. If you have a 10k card limit, try to use less than 1k or pay it down to that as soon as possible. #credit #improvement #finance
