How to Hack Your Way to an 800 Credit Score

Ever wonder how some people score those ultra-low rates on car loans or credit cards? It’s all about that magic 800+ credit score. Only about 1 in 4 Americans get there, but it’s not rocket science: pay bills on time, keep your balances low (think: don’t max out your cards), and don’t go wild applying for new credit. With new rules possibly capping credit card interest, a high score could mean more perks—and less risk of your card getting canceled. #Business #MakeMoney #CreditScore

It’s a reminder: sometimes, the sequel isn’t always better for your wallet or your fun. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Payday3
