  7. Interest is the cost of using someones resources. Bad credit can follow you forever. It's a bad idea to do business with more than one company, because it's bad for your credit. You should have at least one credit care. Make your payments on time to establish good credit.

    4. You should start a checking account in 9th grade.
    5. You should introduce yourself at the bank when you move to a new town to establish that relationship.

    -steps: Open checking account with one back

  12. -Open a checking account at one financial institution, If you open an account with different financial institutions you can end up with a lot of trouble.
    -If you use a debit card the money comes out of your checking account so you can keep track of what you buy with writing it down.
    -Need to have one credit card when establishing good credit
    - Spend high balances fast and stay in between your credit
    - Installment Loans- Installing payments one payment at a time to a certain time
    - Mortgage Loans- House loans- Biggest deal breaking, If you are late on payments your score will drop every time you are late on payments.

  13. 1.) I did not know that credit is using someone else’s resources for your gain. I thought it was just another form of money used in just a certain store when you take an item back.

    2.) I did not know it’d be a wise decision to get a checkbook by your Freshman year.

    3.) It’s scary how history follows you. It’s crazy how $2.20 can turn into an $85 fee.

    4.) Spreading your business to a lot of banks is the worst decision a person could do.

  17. 1. I didn't know that credit was using someone else's resources for your gain. It could be for anything, not just from the bank or credit card companies.
    2. I also didn't know that interest was the cost of using wealth. If you don't know anything about interest, you could end up paying more than you need to.
    3. I didn't know that your credit history is also based on bad checks, cell phone bills, utilities, late payments, and hospital bills. You need to be careful about what you put in your name and pay everything on time.
    4. Bank at one bank. Its easier and the banks don't think you're doing illegal activity. It also builds a strong relationship with your banker, which makes things easier when you need a loan.

  21. 1) I wasn't aware credit is defined as using someone else's money for your own gain.

    2) I didn't know credit history could be based on things like bad checks, cable, and cell phone bills.

    3) Having multiple bank accounts can be a very bad idea for you.

    4) If you have a guarantor on a loan, not making payments can show up on your credit and the guarantor's credit.

  22. 1) I did not know that interest was the cost of using somebody else's wealth.

    2) I did not know that not paying your bills for electronic things like cable can be bad for your credit.

    3) I would not get a guarantor because you can't really trust someone else to pay your bills because some of them won't have the money either.

    4) Mortgage loan is a house loan. I knew that, but i did not know what an installment loan was. installment loan is where you make payments until its paid off and you own it in the end.
