Jayden starts building his credit score while in college using a single credit card for gas, which he pays off each month in full (to avoid paying interest). After graduation, Jayden gets a job and qualifies for a car loan (paying that each month on time) and continuing to use a credit card each month to pay for gas. Jayden pays the full balance on the credit card each month on time (or early). After being consistent for several months with both the car loan and the credit card, Jayden’s credit score continues to improve.
