Your Credit Questions Tackled By Money Girl
I <3 Money Girl- She has great money advice for young people. If you need pointers on investing for newbies, or what credit cards to pay down first -she’s your gal! If you’re new to money management or want to get out of debt the smartest way possible, learn from the best! I’ve listened to her podcast for years, own her book and have had the pleasure of attending the Financial Blogger’s Conference that she spoke at last year.
Here on FruBu I have gotten a TON of questions about credit, credit cards, FICO scores and debt and I have referred to her book, Money Girl’s Smart Moves to Grow Rich numerous times.
I have been meaning to do a credit FAQ post for some time, so you can imagine how excited I was to see this video that tackles many of the same questions I’ve heard here…so instead of pawing through her book, I’ll let her tell it to you straight! Enjoy!
She’ll answer questions like: Should you pay off your credit cards or carry a balance?
My partner has a low credit score and mine is good, should I be an authorized user on their card to help them build credit?
Can having too many cards hurt my credit?






















Hi, Shannyn! Thanks so much for sharing my credit FAQ video on your awesome blog! I hope it helps answer some of the credit questions that have come up from your readers.
1Funny that the picture actually features a norwegian wallet
The credit cards are norwegian and the card on the right is a travel card for Oslo's collective transport
2Thanks for posting this! I know I need to do better with my credit and get at least some basic skills but it can be overwhelming. So glad to know that the credit card I cancelled last year won't be a death sentence for my credit!
