Credit Score Update

Credit Score as of 3/21/07 (average of all three credit scores):

644


Credit Score as of 4/19/07 (average of all three credit scores):

23 points in one month. I am psyched. My goal is to reach 700 by August. Then I will look into refinancing my car loan.

:-D. Girl I am blessed. Thats all I can say. I work for NASA indirectly also. I work for one of their contractor. Its hard to find someone who works directly for NASA. They are primarily made up of contractors and sub contractors.

Congrats. There's no better feeling than knowing your credit score is on the up. Mine was about where you are right now but it shot up to 740 and has hovered there for some time.

I've written a bit about this too including some tips. See if they're any help to you:
10 Ways to Increase Your Credit Score

Best of luck to you and keep paying your bill on time!

Thanks Millionster!

I checked out your link. Very good tips. Some I had no clue affected your credit score (i.e. personal loan). I hope to reach 720 or higher by the time I start house shopping (which would be around Feb 2008). I like your blog. Very useful info. I added you to my blogroll. Come back and visit again. :-D

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...

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh...
