Another good reason to purchase this book is that it would be a good way to keep up with your scores once or twice a year if you are watching them closely for a major purchase (a house, etc).
I’ve been watching mine for two years now but would have to hunt to find out the ups and downs
of the past two years.

I think people can save themselves money and just visit the MyFico forums instead of purchasing this book. The advice contained on the forums is much more detailed than what is in this book. Contrary to what people selling advice may want you to think, the FICO scoring model is not at all complex and is an easy game to master.

I think it’s good for any age and any credit awareness level, the first few chapters explain credit, how it’s used, how it’s determined, and how you can establish and improve it. Whether you’re a 20-something with no credit or a 40-something with no credit (perhaps a divorcee who never established his or her own credit), age isn’t as much a factor.

That’s pretty cool, Jim. Hadn’t even heard of this book until now (although I’m familiar with the author). Do you think the book is good for college students and 20-somethings who are just starting out and beginning to establish their credit? Or is it geared toward an older audience?
