Attacking my Credit Score

LOL!!!

Yeah man! I plan on attacking everything. Now for my credit score. I checked today and my credit score went up another 30 points! Wow. Is it that easy? All I did was pay a little more on my minimums. I can't wait to see what it does after all my balance transfers go through in the next few weeks. You know ya girl is happy!

Speaking of balance transfers. Advice for anyone who may be thinking of doing the same thing I did on my last post "Attacking my credit card debt":

Cut up ANY and ALL cards that you have transfered the balance of.

I cut up ALL my cards except the 2 cards that I transfered my balances to and 1 card for emergency purposes. And that card only has a $300 credit limit. This way I do not use the cards I just paid off and f-up my whole game plan. Now thats a big no-no.

I have been doing a lot of research to help myself better understand the world of finance, credit scores, credit cards, credit reports, investments.......the list goes on and on. There is so much information available on the internet alone, for anyones access. I believe its essential to arm yourself with as much knowledge as you can. That way you don't wind up in a situation like mine, like so many Americans.

Anyways thats my thought of the day. For those on an empowerment journey themselves: "Keep trucking! You can do it!"

Dimps out

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice

Yeah......

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Life has been extremely busy. Trying to get used to the extra responsibilities on top of my existing overflowing list. I will try my hardest to post my do's and don'ts of buying a house tonight. Hope all is well.
