Tiana & Jeanine prove that overcoming a mountain of debt is possible. 🌟 Their inspirational journeys remind us that we don’t have to do it alone. Nonprofit @NFCC Certified Credit Counselors make the difference. bit.ly/4rdFvQE

MMI client Tiana's story is a perfect example of how the right guidance from MMI and the @NFCC can turn financial stress into long-term stability!
A Consumerpedia episode shares real stories of overcoming credit card debt with help from NFCC Member agencies. Tiana Moore paid off $21,000 and Jeanine Kosinski paid off $35,000, with credit counseling support.

There is ONE specific time when using Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) could be a sensible financial decision. For every other purchase, risks might outweigh benefits. I explained this crucial exception and major pitfalls to @thejasminsu with @CNBCSelect. cnbc.com/select/one-time-to-…

“Consumers are out of money” 💸
Serious student loan delinquencies hit a record 14.3% in Q1 2025, while credit card delinquencies have doubled since 2021 to 7.1%, according to Equifax and the New York Fed.
Mike Croxson, CEO of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (@NFCC), says the issue is no longer about income level, but debt level: “It’s really about the debt level.”
With U.S. household debt now at $18.59 trillion, has the consumer engine finally stalled?

A7. Check at least once per year. You can get a free report from each of the three major bureaus annually at AnnualCreditReport.com. It's the only truly free, authorized source. #CreditChat @Experian @NFCC

A6. Myth: Paying interest is necessary to build credit. ❌ DEBUNKED: You build great credit and save the most by using your card and paying the full statement balance by the due date. #CreditChat @Experian @NFCC

A5. The big two are: 1) Payment History —always pay on time! 2) Utilization —keep balances low relative to credit limits. Focus on those for the biggest impact. #CreditChat @Experian @NFCC

A4. Your Credit Report is the history book of your credit life (accounts, payment history). Your Credit Score is the grade (a three-digit number) based on that history. #CreditChat @Experian @NFCC
National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) retweeted
A3. I wish I'd learned that utilization (credit balance vs. credit limit) is almost as important as paying on time. Keep it low (ideally under 20%!) for the best score and less budget pressure. #CreditChat @Experian @NFCC
National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) retweeted
A2. Start small & be consistent! 1) Get a secured card or become an authorized user. 2) Use it for small purchases. 3) PAY EARLY OR ON TIME, EVERY TIME. #CreditChat @Experian @NFCC

A1. Good credit is your financial foundation! It impacts your ability to rent, get better rates on loans/insurance, and eventually secure a mortgage. Start strong! #CreditChat @Experian @NFCC
