Know Your Credit Score!

My wife and I were sitting on the couch last Saturday afternoon watching the QVC network of all things.  Financial wiz Suzie Orman, who has a wonderful weekly show pertaining to finance on CNBC was pushing one of her products dubbed ”The FICO kit” Platinum version.

The kit provides the user with access to all three of their Credit Bureau Reports as well as their FICO scores, which are the scores that 90% of all lending institutions use in order to qualify people for loans (vehicles, Real estate, etc) . Its a wealth of information that also provides insight into one’s personal debt and coaching in order to clear things up.

I’ve always frowned upon our educational system for not teaching financial basics at various levels of the educational process.  So many americans are in debt because we weren’t taught the basics. Suzie’s kit is a start and for less than $50 bucks is a steal!

    I agree that it’s important to know one’s credit score, but I believe that you can get your scores for free on an annual basis. Check out this page from Consumer Reports to learn more.
