My husband and I didn’t really understand credit when we were younger. And didn’t understand how much it would screw it once we matured. I have about 15k in student loans and another 15k in medical bills and other random debts. Most in collections. My husband has 15k in student loans and probably another 5k in random unpaid bill collections. We make about 36k a year combined. Two kids. No savings. Basically a pay check to pay check life. We really need to buy a house. We have moved from place to place over and over for the last 4 years because it’s impossible to find a long term rental at a reasonable price where we live. Our oldest kid has been to 5 schools since kindergarten. We need to settle but they way things look it’s just impossible to buy a house for people like us. We live in rural Maine. There are no opportunities here. We cannot move out of state, besides not being able to afford it, we have a custody agreement for my stepdaughter here. We can’t move more then 50 miles away from her school without forfeiting our time with her. What are some of the best ways to get a credit score up and buy a house? Is it possible to turn our life around in 1/2 years?
