In this current economy credit seems to be the hottest topic, and most people are wondering how the current situation will affect them personally.  The Washington Post recently ran a feature called The 10-Point Credit Checkup which answered some of the most common questions about credit and gave some great tips for keeping your score high and making the most of your credit.  

The article addresses questions such as:

-          Can I count on my home-equity line of credit being available when I need it?

-          I’ve put my credit cards away in a drawer so I won’t be tempted to use them. Will that hurt my credit score?

-          How often should I use a credit card so it doesn’t become an inactive account?

For the answers to these and other credit questions check out the article.
