Establish Your Credit
If you plan to borrow money or financing in the future and have no credit, follow these steps to set:
* Open a savings account or checkbook in your name. Your deposits and withdrawals show that you manage your money responsibly.
* Request a credit card from a store or local gas station. It is usually easier to get a card if you have these credit facilities. Always pay on time and without fail.
* Request a secured credit card. These are cards that you ensure your own money through a deposit and represent a lower risk for the lender.
* Request a loan or credit card with a person who has established credit. A co-signer agrees to pay the debt if you can not afford it. Keep in mind that a loan is a financial obligation for you.

Plan your debt: How to use credit card effectively
Why should I use my credit card? This question has different answers and it is difficult to explain a single answer when many of us have different lives, and for each credit card we use it differently. The reality is that the credit card is a double-edged sword, and if we do not know how to use them properly can result in a situation where we may not want to see. I hope these tips help you identify how to improve the use of credit card and leave a comment at the end of your suggestions or feedback:
If you are using, have a plan to pay.
As Ricardo Arjona says the problem is not that the use … The problem we have is that we use the credit card regardless of how or when we will pay. Before making a purchase, just think how long you take to pay the bill. One card is very timely to buy flights on offer, holiday gifts, etc. If you can pay with a plan, it need not be a problem.
An example: If you spend $ 600 on a new computer and pay with your credit card before you buy thinks like you will pay the computer. You say to yourself / a: I pay in a year! Divide the $ 600 for 12 months, and have the amount needed to pay each month. It is true that this does not take into account the interests, but that’s not the problem, if the person ends up paying the minimum ($ 20) without thinking as to take into pay.
