If credit cards are the greatest source of bad debt, auto loans are a close second. You are upside down on the loan the second you drive off the dealership’s lot and it’s downhill from there. Too many people shrug off a car payment as a necessary evil.

Think twice before closing credit card accounts. If you manage them well and they have no fees, they don’t hurt they help. One of the most important factors in computing your fico score is the ratio of your debt to credit.

If you ever plan to fincance a home you want a high score. Most people know that. But most people don’t know other consequences. For example, your car insurance rates and many other things are also often affected by it.

“even my cat layed by my side the entire time”

According to Grammar Girl it should be “even my cat lay by my side…”

The Brits have a slight advantage over Americans when it comes to using lie vs lay correct as one doesn’t sleep late but has a “lie in”. Yes I know it sounds wierd but it’s correct. Don’t feel bad thought becuase I teach English and I always ask non native speakers grammar questions.
