| 0:39.2 | able to cash in on those savings, you need a higher credit score. Well, how are you supposed to get that? |
| 0:46.7 | You could try smart credit. On average, smart credit users raise their credit score up to 34 points |

| 1:57.0 | that time you yelled or cursed or threatened some excessive punishment. |
| 2:02.7 | Did it make things better? Did it accomplish anything worthwhile? Are you proud of it? Would |
| 2:08.6 | you do it again if you had another chance? Of course not. Almost nothing good ever comes from |
| 2:14.0 | losing your temper, and there is nothing good about losing it with your kids. |
| 2:18.8 | You never feel good about yourself after giving into anger. You feel ashamed, small, regretful. |
