I know that paying your credit card bills on time helps your credit score. Do other bills do that, like my apartment rent? I'm a full-time student, so I can't work right now, but I'd like to do what I can to start building good credit. Does anyone have some tips?
Also, is this true: I've heard that having a lot of credit cards you with low balances on them (i.e., you don't really use them) raises your credit score. I just have one card right now. Should I consider getting another one or two?
Thanks!
