My Key To Going From
510 to 720 In A Year
So how did I turn it all around??? The answer is a
whole lot simpler than people will make it out to
be... I set EVERY SINGLE BILL I had on auto-pay. I
know, it sounds like common sense, right? But
you'd be amazed how many people don't do this.
My mother for instance, would constantly deal with
the issue of forgetting to pay her cards on time.
Every one of your bills can be set up on auto-
payments.
I had just had to call my credit card company
(Capital One) and ask for it. Not only did I set up
auto-pay, but I made absolutely sure my cards
would be paid off entirely on the final day of each
month. Why the final day? By waiting till the final
day of the month, I can make absolute sure I have
all debts paid off before the new month, so it shows
up on my credit report as "Zero Debt".
