❌ MYTH: Checking your own credit score hurts your credit.
✅ FACT: Only hard inquiries (like when you apply for new credit) affect your score. Checking it yourself is safe!

📢 Answer Time!
👉 Missing a payment (A) is much worse for your score than applying for new credit (B).
💳 Why?
A single missed payment can drop your score by 60–110 points and stay on your report for up to 7 years.
A hard inquiry from applying for credit usually only drops your score by a few points, and it fades within a year.
✅ Bottom line: Always pay on time — inquiries matter, but late payments matter much more.

🚨 MYTH BUSTED!
Closing old credit cards does NOT help your score — it can actually hurt it.

💡 Ever feel like your paycheck disappears before the month ends?

That used to be me too. I’d work hard, but my money was gone before I knew it.
Then I discovered a simple method: the 50/30/20 rule.
👉 50% of your income goes to needs (rent, groceries, utilities)
👉 30% goes to wants (eating out, hobbies, subscriptions)
👉 20% goes to savings + debt payoff
It’s not about being perfect — it’s about having a plan. Even small steps create big freedom.
To make it easy, I created the Faith & Finance Budgeting Pack — with simple fillable templates + AI coaching to walk with you every step.
