Balance doesn't mean shite if you have a huge line of credit and are paying a good portion of it off each month.

Millennials, unlike boomers, aren’t aware of the concept of saving money for a future purchase you want.

So you're telling me that one of the youngest generations with a credit score has the lowest average credit score? Hot take!

Probably because they try to pay for everything with credit. I mean we are talking about the generation that doesn't like cash or checks.
