Your Credit Score is an Important Tool for Good Money Management Practices

Money management requires having good practice not only on your on hand cash, but also on your credit standing. In order to know how well you are doing, it is best you get an update on your credit score. This is because you will get to have a risk assessment through your credit score. Even if you plan to get a loan, this is one of the areas which companies are now using. No matter how big or small the loan is, companies that provide financial services will require a good score. Unfortunately, there are a number of individuals who have neglected the importance of their credit standing. They think that this is unnecessary information since they do not plan on getting a loan. However, knowing how well your standing is can be a great eye opener to you. At the same time, if you have a bad record, this is one way for you to know why you are not getting approved for the loan you are applying.

To get your credit score, lenders usually use one of the three main agencies such as Experian, Equifax and Trans Union. For your personal money management purposes, getting your credit report from these agencies will cost you between $10 and $40. This is why it is important you decide when you need to get your record.

Despite the fact that these companies charge money for providing you such record, there are several ways you can get a free credit score. This bit of information will be derived from your statistical data and on the number of points you earn through several factors. However, it is best to spend a little money on this record so you can get actual information.

But just because you are not applying for a loan does not mean you should not get this record. In fact, this is one way you can assess how well you are practicing money management because you will get to see what your quality of life is. It will also act as a tool you can get valuable insights from on how you can be able to improve this score.

Re: What works for you? - Hi Yinka, I work better under pressure of deadlines when I am doing something for other people. However, I like to have the leisure to develop my own projects. The first case is what Stephen Covey calls a "Quadrant 1" activity ("Important and urgent") whereas the second case is a "Quadrant 2" activity ("Important, not urgent"). We should aim to make as much time as possible for Q2 activities so that we can develop our own projects. Easier said than done!

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
