Financial Foundations: Budgets And Credit Scores

Rebecca Pavese, CPA, knows that some people think budgets and credit are the small potatoes of financial planning. But she argues that mastering these basics will set you up for success as you pursue bigger and more complex goals. Rebecca sits down with host Amy Laburda to chat about the nuts and bolts of building a budget, whether you’re a first-time budgeter or looking to overhaul your existing approach. They also break down the basics of credit scores: how they’re calculated, how to improve them, and why they’re so important. Just like establishing an exercise routine and a balanced nutritional plan, mastering budgets and credit sounds simple, but can take practice to truly master. And, in the same way, taking the time to master them can pay lifelong dividends to your financial health.
