Start Monitoring Your Credit Now
Whenever you're getting ready to spend a lot of money, apply for a loan, take on a new job, or make a move, being aware of changes or inaccuracies in your credit report is vital. It keeps you from being surprised by anything that comes up during a credit check, and gives you time to resolve any issues before they make an indelible impact on your finances.
Equally as important is the knowledge that you have a strong credit score and your finances are in excellent standing. That can help you qualify for a lower interest rate on a mortgage or car loan — which could add up to thousands of dollars of savings each year.
