For someone just starting out, the best advice is to establish spending habits that will help you to make and keep your credit strong. Your credit score, which is a grade of how well you handle credit and loans, depends on two things: 1) The length of your credit history i.e. Do you have a track record that lets people see how well you handle credit? 2) The quality of your credit history i.e. During the time that you’ve had a credit history, have you created a pattern of making payments on time and according to the terms of your loan or credit agreements?
The best way to build a credit history and then to get good credit, is to own a line of credit through a financial tool like a credit card. Keep your credit balance in good standing by making charges and then making monthly credit payments on time. But make sure never to spend more money than you can handle.
FYI: The credit reporting agency Equifax provides a helpful website with information on credit. It’s written for the general public, so it's very easy to read.
