Are common credit myths hurting your credit score?

In this episode of The Spend Life Well Show, Mark Trice and Sam Chapman break down the biggest misconceptions about credit and debt. Many young adults believe they need to carry a credit card balance to build credit or that closing old accounts will improve their score. The truth is very different.

You will learn how credit utilization affects your FICO score, why paying off your balance each month does not hurt your credit, and how length of credit history impacts your financial profile. 

From a biblical perspective, this episode explores wise stewardship, responsible borrowing, and the long term consequences of unmanaged debt. Credit is not inherently wrong, but it must be handled with discipline and strategy.

If you want to improve your credit score, avoid unnecessary interest payments, and make smarter financial decisions, this episode provides clear and practical guidance.
