Uh, turn on the news. Coke is back in a big way.

I'm still living job to job it seems, but I always have at least $5,000 in the bank. I'd be too nervous running this business without that cushion.

I'm pretty new to this and it's a supplement to another business (real estate), I couldn't imagine not having at least access to a line of credit if I needed something for my business.
 
Though I do agree with nightrider in regards that even if someone is making $100,000+ / yr, they still might not have two dimes to rub together and they may be upto their eye-balls in CC debt.   what kind of life is that?

Here's the funny thing about money....................it worth NOTHING
 
EXCELLENT CREDIT IS EVERYTHING
 
If you have $ 500,000 in the bank and no credit history ( or at least just a minimal history ) you will not get a car loan, or mortgage .
 
If you have $ 2,000 in the bank and an excellent credit you get it all .
 
Since I was a youngster @ 17 I read a book " How to Profit on the Misfortunes of others " In the book they advised not to gather money, but rather invest into real estate.............That's what I did, every $ 5,000 I saved I bought a property ( I still own the first property I bought ) I paid $ 12,000 in 1971.....todays worth 0ver $ 300,000
 
MONEY IS NOTHING..........NET WORTH IS WHAT DECIDES IF YOU ARE RICH

You always need some credit. Try getting a cell phone with half a mil in the bank and no cc. It aint easy
