I’ve always been against credit cards. When I was younger I was terrible with finances and saw my brother fall victim to tens of thousands of dollars in debt when he was in college even tho he was on a full ride for football. He got out of that hole and has been doing well since financially and has a great lifestyle.
Today I’m wiser with finances. My credit score is great despite not having a credit card with school and car loan payments. There’s no need to boost my credit score. I purchased a house last year, getting married in a couple months, and have a solid job. I’ve been feeling pressure to finally get a credit card.
Does anyone know where to start, friendly websites, or a helpful quiz/survey I can take?
I’ve done research on my own but there’s so much out there and bankers try to sell you on what they have. Should I get one or just pay off my current debt - car and school? It adds up quite a bit and I’m not sure if it would be smart getting one.
I think this would also be a good thread for any students that are debating on getting a credit card with respect to what happened to my brother. Would love to hear your feedback.
