Stop Maxing Out Your Credit Card NOW!

Transcript

You think maxing out your credit card is fine because you pay it off every month? Think again! When you hit that limit, your credit utilization jumps to 100%. This little number is responsible for 30% of your credit score! If you’re carrying a $5,000 limit and max it out, your score could drop by 100 points overnight. Trust me, lenders see that and think twice before giving you a loan or even a better credit card. Plus, you’re at risk of fees and interest on any new charges. So, keep it under 30% of your limit! Your future self will thank you when you’re getting approved for that dream house or car.
