With the economy in recession and the nation still in the grips of the coronavirus pandemic, now’s the time to make sure your credit and credit score are in tip-top shape. Your financial security might depend on it.

My latest attempt is the following video. It offers five simple steps anyone can use to improve their credit and their credit score.
Don’t need to improve your credit? Then share this with someone who does.
The video is about 12 minutes long. So, sit back, relax, check it out and let me know what you think! And be sure to check out the additional resources below.
