Do You Love Your Friends And Family?

Friday June 29, 2007
If you knew something that could make a world of difference in the lives of your friends and family members would you keep that information to yourself or would you pass it along? When you read a good book or news article, you pass that information along to people you know would benefit, right? Of course you do. What about when there's a great sale at the mall or grocery store? Is that something you'd pass along, too?

Have you told your loved ones to check their credit report and score? Do you send them links to articles telling them how to choose a credit card so that they don't overpay in interest?

From time to time, I receive emails from readers on behalf of their friends and family. I applaud these readers for passing along sound credit advice.

Even though credit cards and loans are very much part of life, information on credit and debt management isn't being taught in schools (yet). It's up to us to educate ourselves and help educate those around us. The next time you read something informative on Credit/Debt Management, navigate to the "Email A Friend" link on the right side of the page and send it to someone who might benefit. Help your loved ones have the healthiest financial life possible.
