Mmm, that may be true, but down the path where I'm heading, I think I'm set. 

 

Edit: If I were to use my credit, I wouldn't be using a credit card since they have the most interest. Would be getting a LOC probably with 3% int. 


Where is there a LOC at 3%?

LOC at 3%? I'm also curious about where you can get that low of a rate.

Congratulations! Please take care of your credit. I wish I knew all this when I was 18. My son will be 18 in a few weeks. And we will get started on his credit soon.

Congrats and great job.  I wish that I would have learned all this at a young age.

Gotta ask, AARP card?

 

An 18 y/o pulls that out, I am looking for a Grandpa in the car or calling the cops! (not really, interesting choice)

I believe you need to have a home to have a home equity line. Smiley Happy

I gotta say, that sig line is very impressive, particularly for an 18 year old.  You've come a long way in a short amount of time.  I hope you respect the credit you have access to.  Good for you. Smiley Happy
