Credit cards are useful tools, however understanding how they work and how to use them wisely is important to maintaining financial wellbeing. Credit cards are powerful financial tools, especially for building a credit history. However, they may cause consumers to spend more than what is allowed in their budget. Credit cards can create the illusion of free money.  It is necessary to learn how to manage credit cards wisely to maintain financial health.

Sometimes we feel like we are in over our heads, and debt is weighing us down. There are things we can do to control, fix, and avoid getting into excessive debt. Over-borrowing money can be a downward spiral into financial despair if not caught and controlled.  Financial stress can take a toll on one’s physical health, relationships, and overall wellbeing.  No matter what someone’s level of debt is, there are many strategies and resources available to control the pattern and get back on a path of financial wellness.

Self-protection is key to avoiding scams and frauds against consumers. Responding promptly is critical to preventing further damage and recovering from attempts to steal your identity that can wreak havoc with one’s credit and good name.  New scams pop up all the time and staying ahead of fraudsters is one sure way to avoid becoming a victim. Even so, many people still find that their accounts have been hacked or that someone opened credit using their personal information. Protecting your identity, monitoring accounts, and responding promptly to erroneous transactions help keep us financially safe. Learn how to protect your identity during this virtual event.
