What i understand from this discussion is the more loans you have going and pay off on time the better your credit is. is this correct?
If so , Isn't this how the financial crisis started in the first place?
In Belgium you just go to the dealer or bank show your income of the last 3 months to show you have a stable income and of you go.
The APR is the same for everybody, but the total amount you can loan depends on your income,
To me this seems more fair and more financialy safe for everybody.

No. Having available credit that is paid off is economically good. The reason for the financial crisis? The big financial institutions were securitizing the mortgage loans. Bundling them and selling them off as securities. As a young person ... it is important to carefully build up your credit history.
