Thank you for the kind words! Not all credit cards are equal. When building credit, it can be crucial to ensure you keep an eye out for green flags and red flags to ensure your credit card works for you and not against you. I’m happy to hear that you feel better prepared after reading my article!

I truly is! It’s important to shape healthy habits early on to avoid falling into the traps that have barred many Americans from comfortable lives and even from retirement. I am a strong proponent of systematic reform, but I also believe it’s important for us as students to set ourselves on track for success in any way we have at least some control over. Thank you for reading!
