Paying without incurring fees builds credit. Basic Glossary Statement: a detailed summary of the charges, payments and credits to your account that have occurred since the last statement date Statement date: the cut-off date for transactions that are included on the statement, usually comes a few days after payment due date Statement balance: amount you owe the day of statement date Minimum payment: amount that must be paid by the due date. Failure to pay this amount can result in late fees and negative marks on your credit file. Payment due date: date that minimum payment is due (see late payment fee). Pay the full statement balance by this date to avoid interest charges. Remaining statement balance: statement balance minus any payments that have been made since the statement date Extended Glossary Credit limit: Maximum amount of money that can be charged to your account at any given time. Minimum payment: the amount that must be paid by statement date to avoid late fees and negative marks on your credit report. If interest is …

encoded: The Crickets, led by Buddy Holly, had their first hit with “That’ll Be The Day” in 1957. Many more hits would follow for Buddy Holly and the Crickets until his tragic death on February 3, 1959. He had just left a gig at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, when his plane crashed in the middle of a frozen cornfield. All three passengers – Holly, Richie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson – and the pilot were killed instantly. Last summer I visited the site of the crash which is only 45 minutes from where I grew up. There are no signs on the gravel roads leading to the cornfield and there is no dedicated parking. Once you get near, though, the presence of other visitors is soon evident. The site lies at the end of a half mile walk along a dirt road with weeds and grass growing in the center. There is a small entrance at the start of the road that is festooned with horn rimmed glasses, flowers and other mementos. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" data-attachment-id="3830" data-permalink="https://www.rynosoft.com/blog/2022/04/gratitude/img_4979" data-orig-file="https://www.rynosoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG_4979.png" data-orig-size="4032,2268" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="IMG_4979" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://www.rynosoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG_4979-1024x576.png" src="https://www.rynosoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG_4979-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3830" srcset="https://www.rynosoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG_4979-1024x576.png 1024w, https://www.rynosoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG_4979-300x169.png 300w, https://www.rynosoft.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG_4979-150x84.png 150w, https://www.rynosoft.com/bl…
