The Do's and Don'ts of Credit

Use your card wisely

Shop around
Look at various sources.

Read and understand the contract
Read the contract carefully. Don't rush into signing anything. Once a contract is signed, get a copy of it. Know the penalties for missed payments.

Know your cost
Figure out total price when paying with credit. Make the largest payments possible. Know the penalties for missed payments. Buy on installment credit only after you have evaluated all other possibilities. Don't be misled into thinking small payments will be easy.
