Credit is not something that most of us like to talk about. We’ll talk about finances, saving money, and budgeting, but mention the word “credit” and the room goes quiet.
In this episode of the “Unresolved Life” podcast, we’re going to talk about it.
With guest Steve Super of Compassionate Credit Repair, we’re going to talk about what credit is, how to work with your credit, and how to fix your credit. We’re going to explore the difference in the way rich people use credit vs everybody else, and we’re going to talk about how to win at the game of credit so that you help yourselves…and your children start off with a good credit score right from the start.
Tune in to not only start talking about credit…but to get it fixed!
