Building credit

[Joe Capobianco]

Besides saving money, building credit was another priority before I buy a property. I was thinking paying my credit card bill on time every month was a good safe way to build credit. But since I started working full time my friend keeps nagging me to buy a car saying its the best or only way to build credit. I don't want to buy a car unless its absolutely necessary because I'm trying to save as much money as possible in order to buy my first property. Any suggestions if my plan will work or my friends is better or maybe we are both stupid?
