Ask Shannah: Are Rewards Credit Cards Wo...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

This vault Ask Shannah episode was inspired by a question from Bri: "Thank you for being the FIRST person to support me through my financial journey as an adult. I’m currently healing from many different emotions surrounding money. My question for you is about credit cards with perks. I got a few cards totaling 4,000 that I’m paying down, but I didn’t realize I was doing a disservice to myself by not utilizing cards with perks (travel, rewards). Should I be moving toward paying off and closing 2/3 of those cards or pay off/down and try to add those smarter cards to my life? Thanks again for all you do, you’ve changed my life for the better. I’m not as afraid of money as I once was."
