Building credit usually happens over time. These three habits can help you move in the right direction:
1. Pay on time: Payment history is an important part of your credit profile. Calendar reminders or automatic payments may help you avoid missed due dates.
2. Watch your balances: Try not to use all of your available credit. Lower balances compared with your total credit limits may support your credit profile.
3. Check your credit reports: Review your reports for unfamiliar accounts, incorrect balances or other possible errors.
You do not need to make every change at once. Choose one habit to focus on this week and build from there.

Not sure what’s worth shredding? Here’s a rule that covers most of it: if the page shows an account number, a Social Security number, a date of birth or a signature, it should not go out with the recycling.
Three fall Community Shred Days left! Bring up to five file boxes or paper shopping bags per vehicle—no cost, no appointment and no need to bank with us. Learn more: https://ow.ly/K78N50ZIVYQ

A budget should support your life, not make you feel restricted. The 50/30/20 method is one way to organize your income:
• 50% for needs such as housing, groceries and transportation
• 30% for wants such as dining out, entertainment and hobbies
• 20% for savings and debt payments
These percentages are a starting point, not a rule. Review what you spent last month, identify one category you want to adjust and build a plan that reflects your actual priorities.
A realistic budget is one you can continue using. Follow our Money Monday series for more practical ways to build financial confidence.
