Credit is a fact of life for most Americans. This financial tool helps you realize dreams like purchasing a home or financing a college education. Credit can lend a hand in an emergency, with an instant loan at millions of locations around the world.
 Yet, the choices you make about how you use your first credit card, or handle your first loan, can change your life for years to come.
That's why bankers provide credit education year-round in high school classrooms, with youth groups, and on college campuses, using the ABA Education Foundation's Get Smart About Credit Program. Bankers believe helping young people get smart about credit now will help them make smart financial choices later.
So, get smart about credit now, and you'll make smarter financial choices later in life. Follow these 10 tips to get smart about credit.
