Hi, I'm Sam. I like to help people with money, web 2.0, and social justice awareness. I have a dream of using the social media space to help people in both little ways (wheelchair ramps down the road) and big ways (ending human trafficking). Here you can read, watch, and listen to my thoughts on all three.
I just discovered these two sites through Money magazine that are relevant to my last video:
These two sites are legit and give you a good idea of where you stand in the area of debt and credit. They’re both free and easy, and can show you where you stand in the areas of payment history, debt usage, credit age, account mix, and inquiries.
Good information to have, but don’t obsess over it. In the big picture, try to keep paying down your debt and put money in savings. The credit card companies want you to get emotionally involved so that you spend more - whether in principal or in interest.
Questions or comments? Get in touch with me.
Sam
