Lee’s thoughts on building credit
Maintaining a good credit score is one of the best things you can do for yourself financially. It provides access to credit with lower interest rates and better terms, credit cards with the best perks and rewards and insurance policies with lower premiums. Use these savings to save, invest and pay off debt more quickly."
