Why It’s Important to Build Family Wealth—and Teach Your Kids About It

Help individuals (especially young adults or those with no credit history) understand how to start building credit responsibly as a foundation for future family wealth and opportunity.

Core Message:

Good credit is the gateway to wealth. It unlocks access to affordable housing, cars, business funding, and more. Building credit early and wisely is how families shift from surviving to thriving.

Detailed Steps: How to Build Credit from Scratch

✅ 1. Start with a Secured Credit Card

Deposit-based card (e.g., $200 deposit = $200 limit)
Use it for small purchases and pay off in full each month
Reported to credit bureaus = builds history

✅ 2. Become an Authorized User

Ask a trusted family member with good credit to add you to their card
You benefit from their positive payment history (without needing to use the card)
Parents can do this for teens or young adults, wealth-building starts here!

✅ 3. Apply for a Starter Credit Card or Credit-Builder Loan

Credit-builder loans help establish payment history
Look for local banks, credit unions, or fintech apps that offer beginner-friendly tools
Focus on low limits, low usage, on-time payments

✅ 4. Always Pay On Time

Payment history = 35% of your credit score
Automate payments or set reminders
Teach kids: credit is about consistency, not convenience

✅ 5. Keep Balances Low

Use less than 30% of your credit limit (ideally 10%)
Example: $300 limit → keep balance under $90
This shows you can manage credit wisely, not just use it

✅ 6. Monitor Your Credit Report

Start young,check for errors and learn how credit works
Use AnnualCreditReport.com or free apps (Credit Karma, Experian)
Building wealth means protecting your name and data
