🦔 Hedgehog’s Money Myth Buster – Debunking Common Financial Myths

💭 Myth: “Carrying a balance on your credit card helps your credit score.”
✅ Truth: This is a dangerous misconception! Carrying a balance and paying interest does nothing to improve your credit score. In fact, it can hurt it by increasing your credit utilization. The best way to build good credit? Pay off your balance in full every month to avoid interest while keeping your score strong.

📌 Take Action: Check your current credit card balance and make a plan to pay it off completely this month!

Final Takeaways:

✅ Explore the world of NFTs and decide if they’re worth your investment.
