Summary

Learn why your credit score may drop after paying off a personal loan. Personal loans and credit cards are treated differently from a credit or FICO perspective. Learn two tips how to easily improve your credit score.

The article is here.

Are you investing well for financial freedom...or not?

Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest, makes a huge difference to your financial future and lifestyle.

If you only knew where to invest for the long-term, what a difference it would make, because the difference between investing $100k and earning 2% or 10% on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $181,136 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.5 million dollars.

Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!Ā
