Driver's Ed for Credit (part 2)

This week's episode is PACKED with information to help you ace your Driver's Ed for Credit course! Cullen Canazares and Wendy Massengill break down some facts about student loans, credit building products, and the financial holes people can fall into with using different kinds of lending products, like payday advance stores.  We'll also chat about the risks of “buy here, pay here” cars, title loans, why consolidating student loans can be a smart move, and how credit builder apps can hurt your credit score more than they help it. And finally, we discuss what happens if you overdraft your account, how much those big banks make off of their customer's mistakes, and how to avoid predatory lending products altogether. We hope you brought your notebook, because there's lots to learn in this next half hour!  Want to watch this podcast?
