1

Build your Credit
The first step is knowing and understanding your credit score. It's an important factor in being able to borrow and often influences the interest rate you receive.
 

2

ConsolidATE Debt
Not all debts are created equal. You should evaluate your current debts and understand the interest rates for each one. Talk with a banker to learn how you could potentially consolidate debt into a lower payment or interest rate, with a plan to pay it off.
 

3

Leverage the Value in Your Home
Your home is an asset. You build equity in your home as you start paying down your mortgage or if the value of your home has grown since purchasing. This asset can be leveraged for home improvements or other financial needs.
