Episode 1306: Your Credit Score Matters A Lot. Here's Why by Francisco Maldonado of The Finance Twins

Camilo and Francisco Maldonado are the Finance Twins. Most people think money is confusing unless you are an accountant. We used to think that too. After working incredibly hard and catching several lucky breaks, we realized so many people are looking for ways to learn about personal finance, how to manage money, and how to get out of crippling debt. They have tons of tools and resources as well as countless articles that have everything you need to start your path to financial freedom.
