How To Navigate Credit During Difficult Financial Times
I really wanted my people to better understand credit as we are living through uncertain financial times.
This kind of information is usually taught to people living through a financial trouble. I thought interviewing a credit expert would be helpful in understanding options and paths moving forward.
Below are some areas of the video you might like to skip ahead to. Please consider watching this entire video as it flows together.
Please, please also share this video with your friends, family and co-workers. I would hate for people to make financial decisions without understanding their options.
Thanks and talk soon!
