Consumers with clean credit histories can get lower rates by showing lenders their ability to manage debt properly. Lower interest rates provide many savings on credit card purchases and payments for consumers with good credit scores. Financial Options Most financial inst...

Make Sure You Understand Your Policy Before ever leaving you insurance agent’s office, make sure you understand the details of the product you are buying. It can be difficult to ask specific questions, so instead simply tell your agent when you don’t fully comprehend anything. Equally feel free to take notes.
