Our weekly #CreditChat started in 2012 to help our community learn about credit and important personal finance topics (e.g. saving money, paying down debt, improving credit scores). Each chat is hosted by @Experian on Twitter and all are welcome to participate. DM us any questions.
Tune into this week’s #CreditChat about the importance of performing a mid-year check-in. We’ll discuss the different aspects of your finances you should review and how you should adjust your goals for economic factors like inflation and more.
