It’s about that time to check your Credit Report. It’s simple and free at AnnualCreditReport.com which provides access to all three of the major credit bureaus. You can do each one free once a year, so the best deal is one every four months.

I will be finding out more about my buying ability as I’m in the market for a new car. It’s about time – 14 years is really too long to keep a car! Now I’ll be building my credit score by paying off the car on time every month. At the same time this loan will reduce my mortgage buying ability because it increases my debt-to-income ratio. Financing is all about balance. (PS – send me your suggestions for a new car – not too big, too flashy, too costly)
