This easy-to-read book provides just the right amount of information to help the reader with establishing and building a personal credit file. It focuses on the tools and skill-sets associated with building credit from the start and maintaining a positive, healthy credit profile throughout life. In addition, it helps form a solid foundation for the discipline and responsibility needed for managing and controlling lifetime spending habits.
