How do you have 17k cash and zero credit.


My tenants (who eventually bought my house) signed a lease with 0 credit and $20k in the bank.

They were in their 20s and both came from middle class families who bought their cars and paid their bills through college. They never had a credit card because they never needed one. They didn't understand a thing about building credit and why it was needed to buy a house until I explained it to them.

Some parents don't teach their kids anything about money.

This is not uncommon.

I have a brother who is 22, has about 20k from working while in school and grad gifts in the bank. He has no credit.

When he graduated he couldn't get approved for a lease without putting up multiple months' rent.
