Congratulations! I learned everything I know about credit from this forum also.

Man, I wish I would've known about this forum when I was 18! Although, I don't know if it existed 15 years ago... My dad always tried to tell me about the importance of credit, but never really guided me on how to manage it properly. I'm 30 and my scores are barely in the low 700's.

Keep up the amazing work! Great credit will get you the things in life that you want, and it will usually cost less! Pay your bills on time no matter what and just keep doing what you're doing.

Queen_Etherea you are making it. Credit is a slow steady game of progress. Another way to look at it: "one day at a time". It took me from 2001 to 2009 to get approved for a big boy bank credit card. Scores went up so slowly and then would stall ... frustrating. The best thing to day is the MyFico Board and other info sources. Did not have that when I was scratching at the ground trying to figure it out.

Congrats on reaching 800 so soon and at a young age, definitely something to be proud of. Self discipline, determination and knowledge are likley key elements in reaching this goal so quickly. As well as possibly a decent income to pay your bills, and no major finacial /medical setbacks. Just remember that the quicker you achieve a goal, the sooner/easier it is to get lazy and let it all go. Remain vigilant.

Agreed. When I was 18 there was no internet, forums etc. on this issue/topic. My parents weren't exactly the best role models in the credit dept. either, and there was no option for AU or Co-Signer.
