But I’m gonna link the FinCon homie Marko, since he is good at explaining this stuff, and MissBeHelful (cuz ya should know her too). Here’s the outline I came up with on the DC metro for about 8 minutes: Know your real money issues. The credit score is merely a report card. Where did all that interest go? There are rules to this.
