The Light and Dark of Credit Cards

In this episode I go through the light and dark of credit cards to help you better understand the risks, rewards, and how to use credit responsibly.

 I go through:

• How interest accumulates on a credit card
• The psychology of why we spend more when paying on credit
• What minimum payments mean
• How credit can impact your ability to get a mortgage
• How credit card rewards points work
• How to assess a credit card’s perks
• How to spend responsibly on a credit card
• And how to recognise when credit isn’t serving you

 Please approach credit products with caution and do appropriate research before applying.
