They don't use Credit Reports. Check out Dave Ramsey, he will tell you how. Or better yet, just keep saving. I don't know of anyone who can't buy a house with 100% down -- paying CASH!!

Steve Martin is great! Good advice, too. My Dad, however, in his attempt to keep me from buying things I could not afford, once told me to never have a checking account or a credit card, to always use cash. I saved up a lot of money and was ready to put a down payment for my first house. Brick wall. Could not get a loan...NO CREDIT HISTORY In the year it took me to apply for credit cards, use them, etc., the housing market in my area went through the roof and the price of homes doubled in one year.

Isn’t it ironic that simple comedy is so often more true than much of the real “self-help” stuff that’s out there?

I think I’ll forward this to my 15 year old son.

Thanks … keep havin FuN!
