Credit Scores and Quality of Life
Your credit score is nothing but a three-digit number but how high it is absolutely crucial to your financial well-being. It is an indicator of other’s people’s faith in you that you can be prosperous and pay your bills as well as a predictor of whether or not you are likely to default on a loan or be likely to make a claim on an insurance policy!
For most people, the credit score is an unnecessary evil that stops them from getting money when they need it. The credit score is an obstacle and an obnoxious block to achieving goals.
This is not the way to be thinking about or treating your precious credit! When used properly, your credit score is also your key to unlocking your financial power. It can help you buy an education, invest in a business, buy home and in a nutshell – invest in your future and help it grow.
The difference between having a low or high score can mean the difference between always having to struggle to meet both basic needs (and never having money for an emergency) or a life that is made easier as the result of being able to borrow money when needed.
The real scoop on your credit score? The higher your credit score is, the higher your quality of life is likely to be!
Having lower credit scores can affect you in a number of detrimental ways for life. You could be charged higher interest rates for your car loan, mortgage and credit cards. You could also be denied credit, insurance and in some states and provinces in North America you could be charged more for basic utility bills (or even refused service without first putting down a gigantic deposit!) You could even be turned down for a job as employers sometimes look up that three-digit number on your credit report to see if you are trustworthy.
There is just no doubt about it – your credit report has an impact in just about every single area of your life.
