Everywhere you go it appears that many things are fighting to grab our spending attention.  Manufacturers are all fighting to get a piece of your earnings.  Distributors are coming up with innovative packaging and creative discounts to get a share of your income.  And when we have no money to spare, thank goodness for credit cards, right?

This all sounds good but it all starts to snowball to the point that there are bills to pay and lots of them in fact.  And before we know it, we're starting to get behind.  Then we may turn to loans and offer our properties as securities.  But times become hard and the spending temptations are always there.  We end up late with our loans as well, and we turn to new loans to pay off those which have become due.

This all leads to a credit history filled with red marks!

So, what is the Importance Of A Good Credit History?

If there is ever a thing that can shape our destiny, then our credit history should be the prime candidate for such a role.  Our credit history has far reaching effects (or consequences, when it is tarnished) in our daily lives, more than what is immediately visible.  Let's take a look at the things that make a good credit history important for us:

A good credit history makes it easier for us to acquire loans whenever we need cash to purchase a car, a house or other personal effects.

A good credit history will also help get the interest rate for such loans at a lower amount, which would make it easier for us to pay off.

A lot of companies now refer to an applicant's credit history to determine their financial responsibility and reliability as an employee.  A good credit history will not only allow you to secure money when you need it, it could also help you land that dream job you've always wished for!

We will cover what we can do to fix our bad credit history and move forward with a clean slate in Part 2.
