There’s some great advice here - I commend you for pulling together such a great list!

One nitpick, though: you talk a lot about FICO scores here, but the credit monitoring service you use, CreditKeeper, appears to track a different kind of credit score than FICO. (It appears to use something called a CreditXpert Score instead). You might already know this, but I just figured that you and the other readers should know that this is likely not the same score that is pulled by banks and such when they look at your credit.

Hi Jemi - This is a useful post. I’ll be checking out mint.com as I love Motley Fool. My biggest weakness is definitely carelessness - eg. forgetting to pay my credit card on time and getting charged for it etc. I really need to get more organised.

Hey Jemi!
I’m reading this great book called, “Prince Charming Isn’t Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money.” The first half focuses on the psychological blocks women have with money, basically, that someone or something else, a “prince charming” if you will, will take care of everything financially for you. The second half is all about how to get smart about money, tips and things you should know to make you feel confident to do it yourself. Its a great book and makes you feel so liberated since you feel like you have control over something that is so important. Check it out!

Well Girl, you did it again.

Such a value packed post.

Re: Impulse shopping. I’ve done that in the past and what I learned from it is to keep the receipts. Often, the next day I would look at what I bought, and not even like it. Back to the store I would go, receipt in hand, and get my money back.

Before I learned that, I would have clothes or shoes with the price tags still on them, just hanging/sitting in the closet. Such a waste of money.

Great post JEMi. I learned many of these things over the years and do my best to teach it and pass what little I know on to others.

Everybody wants money, but nobody wants to take the time to learn how it works. You just have to.

These are great tips to get you into a better financial situation but issues with money are often a symptom of a much bigger, underlying issue; usually emotional and/or psychological.

It’s important to be smart and educated (yay Jemi for showing us that!) but it’s impossible to successfully implement what you’ve learned without freeing yourself from the shackles first.

Wow Jemi, you’ve done it again. This is a great list, one of the best I’ve seen on the subject in a long time. I also use MyCreditKeeper. It’s helped me a great deal, I’m glad you listed it here as well.

Cheers!
