Howdy all,

This is a two-fold question. I have a job. I use debit and cash as my forms of payment... would it be beneficial for me to acquire and pay by credit card? I'd never use it beyond what I could afford to pay, so I'd essentially be treating it as a debit card.

The second part of the question is this: Seeing as my LLC will be purchasing all of my assets, and any future assets. (Even car, personal home, etc..in addition to my actual business and RE/paper asset invesments) does my personal credit rating even matter?

I have no need to finance massive HDTVs or any other useless junk, the purpose of building credit history would be to rent an apartment.

Thanks!

Ryan
