Building Credit, do I need to?

The world tells us building credit is a must. If you already have bad credit then yes you need to repair your credit.  Did you know no credit is better than bad credit?  No credit is when you have no loans or credit cards to your name.  This can happen by never opening a line of credit or having closed your credit and it dropping off after several years. No credit says I have paid all my bills with money on hand and thus have not needed to borrow money.   When you look at it like that it makes sense how this is the best option however creditors like mortgage lending tend to look at this as a negative because of the if statement well if you had a large loan I have no proof that you would pay it regularly.  That why they prefer a good credit history. However, there are many companies that are completely willing to underwrite to people are excelling and not going in debt. Credit Cards are risky which is why the companies are so profitable for them not for you...
