I had no idea what a credit score was until I decided to buy a car. I already had a credit card I had been pretty cavalier in making payments. I really did not see the need for paying bills on time. I didn’t realize that all of my credit history would be detrimental to my getting a loan to buy the car.

Your credit score is a number between 300 and 850. If you are in good credit shape, you will have a score of 600 or more. Your credit rating is higher if you are above 600, so you should be able to get credit much more easily. Obviously, a higher credit score is better for you.

Your credit score might affect your emotionality. If your credit score is low and this concerns you, you will experience feelings of anxiety and stress.
