The fact that I have a well paying job now enabled me to pay off my debts and increase my good credit history. I've increased my credits limits which has decreased my cc debt utilization to fewer than 5% and I varied my types of debt vehicles.
I've never really understood how debt/FICO scoring worked until a couple years ago. This is the kind of stuff that should be taught as a part of "life preparation course" for kids in high school/college. If they were better educated when young they might not fall into the traps I had.
If they were better educated they might have a higher credit score but I doubt they would be in better financial shape concerning their debt load. Until people stop buying junk they do not need and cannot pay for we will continue on this path.
