Been working on rebuilding my personal credit the last 6 months since covid started @creditkarma
Up from low 600s
Looking to buy a house in the spring and trying to get lowest interest payment possible on the mortgage.
Paid down over 75% of my consumer credit card debt now

Consumer #creditcarddebt and #carloans are typically the worst kind of debt and before you do any type of investing you should pay that off first:
Typical interest/yr:
Car loans
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> 9-30%
Credit cards
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> 9-30%
Mortgages
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> 2-5%
Market returns avg/yr:
S&P 500

Typical interest/yr:

Credit cards
Mortgages

As long as you have a significant amount of high interest debt typically found in #creditcarddebt and #carloans you will likely stay in the hole financially
You are a slave to the banks
On the balance sheet that interest payment is a liability to you, and an asset to the banks

I& #39;ve started budgeting hard core, eliminating my monthly expenses dramatically.
I& #39;m officially cash flow positive between income I& #39;m receiving through my small business outside of this account and all my monthly expenses for the first time in a long time.
