New Year’s Resolutions and Lies You Find on the Internet!

‌

January 2019

Greetings!

Happy New Year! It’s that time of the year when we make resolutions to lose weight and get out of debt, right? One of our featured blog posts this month talks about the most important part of your New Year’s Resolutions so that you can be successful at meeting your goals. The second featured blog post is all about lies you find on the internet. I know. It’s shocking. Not everything on the internet is true, but we talk to people every day who got bad information on the internet, so I had to write about a particularly awful example of wrong information.

In debt and credit news, PG&E announced that it is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy around January 29, 2019. What does that mean for customers and shareholders?

Our featured video this month explains credit scores and what goes into a credit score. Did you know that you have about 300 credit scores at any given time??

Thank you for reading and please forward to any friends, colleagues, or family members who may be interested in our monthly newsletter about debt and credit.

Happy New Year!
