SCENE 1 OF 1
Here's the moment
- You just got approved for your first credit card — $1,000 limit.
- You want to build credit for an apartment later.
- Your friends are planning a concert weekend.
- You have $200 in checking.
How do you use the card?
Pick one — nothing here goes on a record. This is practice.
Good credit isn't about having more cards — it's about showing lenders you pay back what you borrow, every single time.
