Get your financial House in Order- Credit Card, Credit History, Identity Theft, Credit Score

As we tackle new years resolutions and goals, Let's do a financial health check- This is the first of many episodes on Finance.

In this episode  I discuss how credit cards, that small piece of plastic in our wallets can have such a huge impact on our finances and financial decisions, especially the big ones like owning a home, buying a car etc.
I also deep dive into
1) The implications of owning a credit card and paying in full
2) How to check our credit history and credit score - interest rate, mortgage...
3) The impact of being the owner of the card or just an  authorized user
4) How we can teach our kids good financial habits early and get them a credit card
5) How to tackle identity theft and do a credit freeze
6) How to monitor credit history through the credit bureaus
7) How to  best travel overseas with a credit card & use points to travel free 

Take a listen, this episode is filled with little nuggets, I suggest you take out a pen & paper or an electronic device to take notes.
