Improving Your Financial Health
For the month of February, we had a health theme. We’re going to switch things up a bit and talk about your financial health. Don’t worry, this isn’t’ going to be some stuffy stock market or investor discussion. We’re going to get down to the basics.

Craig shares his past struggles with credit card debt and how he and his wife recovered.  He also touches on the basics of income and spending. That’s followed by understanding debt and learning ways to effectively pay it off. Finally, if you’re interested in earning more, either through a promotion or a different job, you’ll need a current, freshly polished resume.
