May not sound as fun as St. Patrick’s Day or the first day of spring (which are both approaching), but March also marks the month for credit awareness. So, ask yourself: Is your credit score where it should be?
Maintaining a good credit score is essential to your financial well-being. Take time this month to educate yourself, your children, and family on the importance of understanding the ins and outs of credit, and how it can either set you up for financial success or create financial instability for years to come. Many aren’t aware that establishing positive credit can open many doors—from buying your first home, purchasing a car or landing a job. There’s always an opportunity to develop a strategic plan for building and improving your score before a major purchase. Review our latest infographic on what measures you can take to boost your credit score.
