AIE 102: Credit Cards are Freaking Useful When Used the Right Way

<p>This week, Lauren brings you her interview with David, who is more known as Uncommon Yield on Twitter and Instagram. The two cover the history of credit and  the genesis of credit cards. They discussed the pros, like convenience, rewards, and various protections, as well as the cons, like the propensity to overspend and face high interest rates. Lauren and David dove into FICO scores, the components, and offer some tips on keeping your FICO score up. Finally, Uncommon Yield and Lauren both divulge how many credit cards they have and how they leverage the benefits by paying them off every month (unless they&#39;re 0%).</p> <p>Visit <a href="https://www.joincfu.com/">https://www.joincfu.com/</a> to learn more about CFU.
