Hi CreditZeal.com,
I agree that knowing your credit score is important if you want to take on debt as that can reduce your cost of borrowing. Of course, the best is to not rely on credit at all and save and pay with cash when you can. Besides, credit scores are dynamic and can go up and down over time so there’s no real need to worry about having a low credit score unless you are in the process of taking on more debt which probably isn’t prudent to begin with.
