Finance tip of the day

[rassah]

Here's a place that lets you track your credit score completely for free: www.creditkarma.com They calculate the score themselves based on your credit report, so it's not your exact FICO score, but it should still be fairly close. They let you track your score month-to-month, provide some advice/articles on money management, and give a list of some finance-related offers, such as high interest bank accounts, low interest credit cards, and good offers ( or free) on financial software and services. According to them, my score is quite a bit higher than it was compared to what I saw on an actual FICO report, but maybe it did actually improve in a month. Regardless, this will at least give you a good estimate of where you're at, and help you keep track of where you need to be. And it's free.

Edit: From creditkarma.com, "Our score is the same as TrueCredit which is owned by TransUnion. Hope that helps."
