*does the approved for credit dance* I got approved for another card with less than half the interest rate on my Capital One card! Yay!! I made my first big payment on the Capital One, too. I'm so squee about building credit.
That's awesome to see a college kid that responsible. It's scary how much debt people are graduating from college with. Steven and I are both trying to hard to rebuild our credit so we can buy a house in the next couple years.
I get so upset about my credit. While my ex and I were dating, he used my credit cards indescriminantly, as well as opened several in my name that I didn't know about until after we had broken up. I spent several years trying to get things expunged, but there were a few companies who essentially said too bad what happened, but I'd still have to pay the debt. Luckily, it's been 7 years and they're not on the forefront of my credit report anymore.
