    My credit score is 794 and I never paid a cent of interest in my life, nor have I ever been in debt, and I have 5 credit cards. I just use my cards once a month for small expenses and pay them off in full, keeping the total usage of less than 10% of my credit limit. Missing payments and high utilization will kill your score.

    FYI, debt means you're using your credit. You can have 5 credit cards and not use them or use one wisely, pay it off before the interest hits, and your score will go up slowly, but surely. Part of the game of improving your credit score. Do not use more than 10 % of your line of credit. Bacally keep it within your means and lower.

  • @honestopinion1831

    This is not totally accurate. I have a FICO score of 850 but I'm not in debt. I do have a credit card and pay the balance every month. I have done this for 40 years. Never have I revolved a credit card. I have never paid a penny in interest as I've never revolved a dollar on a credit card. Yes, I like using a credit card, but I'm also very disciplined. The bank doesn't own me, if anything I own them. I get points and I don't even pay a yearly fee. Nada.. Nothing. Also, Dave's idea of buying a house with cash is not really possible if you want to be in a house before 40. Ask Dave's own employees. His average pay is well below $100k so I'm sure they have home mortgages. If you choose a bank that doesn't care about your FICO score then they are going to charge you a fortune in interest. You are a high risk without a FICO score. So I don't fully agree with Dave here. Its not the FICO score that is the issue, its having discipline.

    Debra, that small hassle can save you tons in interest. When you're buying a $300,000 house, the difference between a 3% and a 6% is huge. Any small interest which you pay on those credit card will likely offset any savings.

    Debra Johnson because you can get cash/travel rewards, and build your credit score which will allow you to get large loans. If you only spend what you have, then you'll never pay any interest on credit card debt. It's a matter of whether or not you can be disciplined and responsible with your money.

    Yeah Dave is offering some terrible advice here. Most people can’t buy a house straight up, unlike Dave Ramsey who is rich, so you need a credit score in order to take a mortgage on the house. Otherwise your interest rate is going to be astronomical or you have to pay someone else’s mortgage with rent payments. That is NOT how you build wealth. You’re much better off getting a great interest rate on a mortgage from having a great credit score which you can get for FREE with credit cards that you pay off in full each month and never have to pay interest. I have several cards that offer me cash-back so I’m actually saving money. I pay 5% less for gas and groceries and 2% less for everything else. I only buy what I need and have a bs budget of $3K a year for unnecessary purchases on stuff I want that I stick to. Also, you can sometimes get a higher ARR on investments than the mortgage rate on your house so it makes more financial sense to pay off a mortgage overtime than to pay it off all at once in that situation.

    Assuming a 5% cash back you would have to spend $18,000 per month to get $900 cash back; enough to almost fully fund two Roth IRAs. You must have a small business to be able to move that much money through a credit card. If it's a 1% cash back then you have to move $90,000 to get $900. Most people are not in a situation to move $90,000 a month through a credit card.

    I know several people that do the same thing, and they have very high scores. I don't understand people when they say you have to have a balance on the card for it to improve the score. They must be doing something wrong because card companies show the payments are being paid on time. You don't need to carry over a balance on the card for it to affect your score.

    Credit cards are fine. I use mine to pay bills online, shop, and pay for groceries. I always make sure to pay all outstanding balance before each cycle. I have no annual fee on my card, nor did my credit card charge me for outstanding balance or late fee. My credit score was 815 when i was 26. That enabled me to buy my house at low interest rate. I am not throwing money to pay an apartment complex. Credit card is a great tool if you know how to use it. If you rack up your debt, then that's a personal issue.

    With a credit card/debt it will help you to build your credit score. I also agree with having a credit card , you would spend more than what you can afford and thus paying interest. However these days credit score are even required to rent an apartment as well. So even without any debt/credit card, It’ll be difficult to rent an apartment without having a good credit score. It’s a shame that our system is set up to have debt aka credit score to determine you are worthy or not handling money. There’s just no way out of it.

You can't have 850 FICO score if you aren't good at paying off bills in time. It's a score of how good you are at tracking things and managing multiple accounts etc. How predictable and reliable you are. I don't pay a penny in dept. Have 840 FICO score. Reap the benefits of all the 3%, 5% cash backs. I still agree with Ramsey's approach since anybody who's in such a serious financial wreck is there because they lack the discipline.

    I have 820 score and no debt. I use credit cards for all my purchases, pay them off in total at the end of the month and collect almost $2000 a year from them for using the cards. The cherry on top is that there is less risk using a credit card than a debit card if (really when) it gets hacked. So I'm really good at taking 0% short term loans from these guys AND they pay me money for the honor and I've been doing it for 15 years. That being said, I realize it's on the backs of the people who think credit cards are free money that doesn't need budgeted. If we all got smart, credit cards wouldn't exist.

    Do you spend more money by using credit? Because the data suggests people save more when they use Cash, Debit and then credit. Perhaps you are someone that has gamed the system to your advantage, you use a credit card and keep tight purse strings. But the bank wouldn't be making money if the majority of people did that, they know people will spend more using credit because of how detached they are from spending and they know that some people will get into debt

    This is not what a FICO score means. A high FICO score means you are a low risk to a financial institution for default if you have to borrow money. It doesn't mean you are stupid, it means that you are person with integrity that pays back what you owe in situations where you need to borrow. In an ideal world, you wouldn't need to ever borrow money, but in the real world, sometimes things happen where you need to borrow capital that can't wait.

    @Charlie Ennis They don't charge any interest until the due date. If you pay off the balance in full then you're paying ~25% interest on $0. Which is nothing. Once you pay it off, they give you some of your money back. So you actually net a profit. You can also keep your money in your savings account a little bit longer so you net more interest on what you have than somebody who doesn't have a credit card.
