I think it’s time or me to check my credit score. I haven’t done it in a year at least. I definitely am paying more interest than I’m earning. Good post!

these actually make a lot of sense. There is a point where you said that “unless you are wealthy you will need to save money for retirement”. The thing is that the wealthy people invest and save more that other people so this is not entirely accurate

It’s also important to note that inertia works the other way, too. Once you get moving on your finances, it’s easier to keep things going in a better direction.

All great ways to make a big difference over time.

I’d especially advocate working on the credit score. How many times have blogs and the popular press stated the importance but how few actually make the effort? I finally stepped up to purchase my score at myFico.com and learned more in 30 minutes that I can imagine.

Your Fico score plays a huge part in determining how much you spend over a lifetime on interest and insurance. You must take this into account.
