Growing up, finances were a difficult topic in my family. My parents drilled into me the dangers of credit cards — to the point where I was scared to use one until I was already an adult. But as I slowly learned more about them — about how they could help me build credit, earn rewards and handle an emergency — I realized that my fear was misplaced. I know how hard it can be to develop new financial habits, even if they’re good ones, which is why I’m passionate about helping others learn what the right credit cards can do for them.
