Unless you’re one of those rare folks who pays cash for everything, you need a good FICO score.  FICO is your credit rating.  It is a crucial piece of information that banks, mortgage companies, and others use to decide whether to approve you for loans and credit cards.  So be informed.

Here are some interesting FICO facts:

FICO® scores are your credit rating
They range from 300-850, higher is better
Most lenders base approval on them
Higher scores mean lower interest rates
FICO® scores are calculated based on your rating in five general categories:
Payment history - 35%
Amounts owed - 30%
Length of credit history - 15%
New credit - 10%
Types of credit used - 10%
The median FICO® score in the U.S. is 723

This is great because I can check on my credit score and see if i can get that new car to cruise the town.  It’s better to be informed than left in the dark, especially when it deals with your money.
