Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money.

Credit scores are like that mysterious number your parents warned you about but never fully explained—sort of like the adult version of a GPA, except instead of determining whether you get into college, it decides whether you get a car loan, a mortgage, or just a sad little store credit card with a $200 limit. They say that a “good” credit score usually means you look trustworthy enough to lenders (think financial Tinder, but without the awkward bios), while a bad one can follow you around like a bad haircut in your high school yearbook. But is that even true? Have we moved beyond caring about what your credit score is?

On this episode, we’re talking all things credit scores. What is it? What a good one is and do they really matter anymore?
