iamMari2013 8 Posted June 28, 2014 Life after DACA has been awesome!. After getting my license (passing on the first try with only ONE wrong) my hubby rewarded me with a brand new car! It's been a month and though it is great it has been an adjustment ...I am currently looking for a higher paying job and interviews are not easy! Lot's of competition out there. It's been tuff with the credit card situation...no one will let me borrow because there is no credit line history ..DUH this is a brand new social security number lol. I don't know how I will start credit because im not getting a chance... DACA is helpful but doesn't mean that life will be easy... But I won't give up ..this is just the beginning. I will continue to DREAM big and work HARD! No matter the struggles I am always GRATEFUL for the opportunities! Good Luck to all!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tori 38 Posted June 29, 2014 Look into your bank's credit card options. There's usually a student CC or a credit building CC. I'm with b of a and got a student (not even a student) CC with $1000 limit and 0% APR for a year last august. Now I'm getting approved for all sorts of CC. Advice: be financially careful with how you manage your credit card purchases. Live within your means and know for sure you can payoff what is bought.

iamMari2013 8 Posted June 30, 2014 Great advice! Thank you! I have not checked with BofA so I will go there next. I don't need credit cards...my spouse makes enough for us BUT i do NEED credit...maybe one day i wanna buy something or get a student loan and of course they will want me to have good credit standing. I appreciate your advice! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tori 38 Posted July 1, 2014 No prob. Definitely open up a CC. Buy small things and pay them off every month. Your credit will be established and will be very good. 1 iamMari2013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
