Young, Dumb and Full of … Debt: 3 Ways for Young Consumers to Save Money

January 30th, 2013 by Jason Bushey

Ahh, to be young, beautiful and broke. Sounds like an episode of 'Girls', right? Unfortunately, 'being broke' isn't all it's cracked up to be, which might explain why young adults are racking up some serious debt and taking their sweet time paying it back...

January 28th, 2013 by Jason Bushey

Ever wonder why bad credit credit cards are advertised so often as credit-builders for people with poor credit? Seriously, how can adding a new card help you improve your credit score?
