There’s a bounty of shows to binge-watch on Netflix and an endless stream of videos to swipe through on TikTok, but none of them truly improve your wellness or financial future. Improving your financial well-being may sound like a total yawn fest, but we challenge you to try one. We think you’ll be binge watching these short and highly entertaining videos (all under five minutes) as we take you through “The 5 Factors of Credit”—the most important things you should know about growing your credit score.
SAFE’s very own employees and financial experts star in these videos and pack a lot of humor and insights in just a few minutes. They are designed to be short, so you can watch one when you are parked at the pick-up line, and another while your pasta is cooking on the stove. You get the idea. Well, go on then. Click on the first video and see what you think.
Warning: we talk a lot about pie, so make sure you aren’t super hungry when you watch these.
