In today's episode I discuss in detail why banks love to extend credit to people with low credit scores.  This is really important to understand because you are essentially making these banks rich while keeping yourself in debt while struggling financially.  I also discuss why it is so important to be patient and spend the time to work on improving your credit scores.  You work too hard for your money so it is time to stop throwing it away unnecessarily.  It is time to change your mindset so you can change the trajectory of your financial future.  If you are ready to take the first step today then I want encourage you to sign up for my free course.  You can register by clicking here.  Click here to watch one of my YouTube videos to learn more about secured credit cards.  They were instrumental in my own credit repair journey.

In today's episode we will talk about what it really means to be "broke".  My definition of being "broke" is definitely different from how others define this.  This is also where I give you a deep dive on how I came up with the name of my podcast.  I think there are going to be people who are offended by the title but after you listen to this episode you will truly understand why the name is suitable.  Let's connect on social media!!!

Welcome to the very first episode of the the How To Stop Being Broke Podcast.  In this episode I am going to introduce myself, Bella Jones (your host), as well as share with you the vision that I have for this podcast.  As a financial strategy coach I am VERY passionate about helping my community increase their knowledge when it comes to financial literacy.  We have somehow learned to settle for bad credit, no savings and living paycheck-to-paycheck and this IS NOT OK!!!!  In this episode I will also give you some insight on why I started this podcast as well as my business (Bella's Credit Corner LLC).  My ultimate goal is to share my stories with you while also talking about the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes your credit, managing your finances and building wealth.Let's connect on social media!!!
