The lesson is clear: Good credit saves you money! And this is typically true whether you’re looking at car loans, a home mortgage, credit cards, or any of the types of credit.

In addition, many employers look at credit history to evaluate potential employees. Your credit history may indicate your ability to fulfill your agreements, your background with finances, your ability to handle multiple obligations, or various other factors.

All-in-all, your credit history provides a glimpse of your character, your reliability, and your trustworthiness.
