Shop Around for Those Rates

The Bucks blog is tackling credit scores this morning. It's okay to shop around for better rates if you're looking to take out a loan and worried about your credit score. I only think about my credit score whenever I'm apartment hunting and landlords are eyeballing the score to gauge whether or not you'll be a risky tenant. The best way to maintain a good score (or to improve it) is to pay your bills on time and pay down your debt if you have it.
