Re: How young are you?

25. 

 

Car lease through ally at 20 paid off. Got a terrible CapOne Masterdcard that year that they only give me $750 on, which started at $500. At 24 I got a Gold AMEX and also paid off student loans. Early this year I got a Chase Freedom. Just two days ago I was approved for both the Capital One Venture and an AMEX Cash Everyday. I've never been late on a bill and most of my payments are done far before they are due if not a day or two after the charges take place.

 

My goal is to make money off of a system that is built for people to fail. Great success so far.

AMEX Gold Premier Rewards [CL: ?]
AMEX Blue Cash Everyday [CL: $6500]
VISA Chase Freedom [CL: $3500]
VISA Capital One Venture: [CL: $5000]
MASTERCARD Capital One Platinum [CL: $750]...and they wonder why it never gets used...

Gotta say it is damn encouraging to see so many young people taking control of their finances and credit.

Current Goals: Home loan towards the end of 2013!

Re: How young are you?

I just turned 21. I started when I was almost 20 with a $300 limit credit card from US Bank. It quickly grew from there. What a journey.

 

Here is what I have now:

US Bank Flexperks Signature

US Bank Cash+ (kinda) Combing three accounts to create this card

Chase Freedom $5k

Amex HHonors $2k

Best Buy $3k

Crap1 $1.5k

 

Now I am working on saving money to buy an investment property.

Too many INQs & low AAoA so I'm off to tend the Garden.     Age:21     EQ: 642 TU: 677 EX: 665


     $14k          $8.5K          $7.5k          $7.5k         $6.5k             $6k             $5k            $5k             $5k              $5k           NPSL       @ 0%

It should. The cards seem to start growing exponentially.
