How Much Does Your Credit Score Matter? | Ep. 217

Apr 5, 20236 min

Ever wondered, "Hey, does my credit score actually matter? Do I really need to care about it? Or is it just another number the world has cooked up?" Well, you're in luck! In this fun and informative episode, we explore the significance of your credit score and the various reasons behind its importance. From lending and financing to landing that dream job, we delve into how credit scores can impact different aspects of your life. Spoiler alert: It really does depend... But don't worry, we'll explain why! Every Tuesday, Tiffany answers one of your submitted questions. To submit a question for an upcoming episode, visit here: https://www.moneytalkwitht.com/asktiffany Key Takeaways Credit score matters if one is looking for lending, financing or even a job; as employers may pull credit reports/scores. Insurance companies also use credit scores to determine rates. If one has all the stuff they need and isn't looking for financing or debt, then the credit score isn't too important. However, it's wise to maintain one's credit score anyway, as one never knows what they might need or want in the future.
