Why is it that they do not teach you alot about credit in school? I mean now that I am 27 I often say if I had of known 16 years ago what I know now my life would be totally different. I then thought about the most important thing I would have remembered and I concluded that would have been to know about credit and how it works. By now I would have owned a house and car and probably had school paid off. I believe they should have a major course in regards to credit. Or is it they don't want you to know about it so people can take it for granted and mess it up. I don't recall learning anything about credit or credit scores however I do remember learning about interest. Funny how the educational system works in regards to this matter. Please provide your input. Do you think they should have credit courses in school? I know I do since its such an important part of our lives.

You are probably right, there should be courses about credit in your country's schools. I grew up in a time when there was no such thing as credit. It was cash or nothing. I have never used credit in any form and never will. Credit is an evil placed in the way of gullible people. You should be educated about its dangers.

I strongly agree and congrats to you for not using credit as I said if I had of known then what I know now. I would have never touched that thing. Its terrible how they classify no credit as bad credit too. This world is getting worse I tell ya
