What does a credit score mean and why is it important to have a good one?

Having a good credit score allows you to get lower interest rates to buy big things like a car, a house, etc. If you have a bad credit score you might not be able to buy them at all. A credit score is a measurement of how likely the bank thinks you are to pay off your loans on time.
