Instead of working on your credit sscore till you need a car loan, why don't you save up and pay cash for the car instead?
The average car payment in America is $378 over 63 months (source: USA Today) If instead you pay cash for your vehicles and slowly move up in car over time you will be far ahead of the finacial game and have a lot more money than your broke friends who tie up their money paying payments most of their adult life.
