Credit University

Several Washington State credit unions and a former financial crime fighter bring personal finance and career development tools to teens and young adults. Always non-commercial, always entertaining.

 

This is a Life or Debt Situation!

Life and Debt - Podcast
What happens when you live a life that’s not consistent with your values? When you’re giving people the impression you’re someone that you’re not? When your outsides are incongruent with your insides?

Whenever your true self is masquerading as a different self, bad things happen. This frequently manifests itself materially, and you find yourself spending money on things you simply can't afford. You find yourself in debt.

When we buy things and experiences with money we haven't yet earned, we're really dishonoring ourselves and our accomplishments. What we're saying is that the life we currently have isn't worth living, so we've decided to pretend we've got more to spend. We're saying that we think that pretending our lives are other than they are makes things better. We go into debt for this stuff. We go into more debt. We use loans and credit to pay off our old debts, and then we go into debt some more.

Give us a listen today. You just might learn what questions you should be asking yourself about your financial choices, and you'll definitely learn how to undo that debt damage.

 
 

WOWSERS! What's Credit University?

Intro to Credit University - Podcast

You must be from out of town... or at least outside of Washington State. Otherwise you'd know that some Credit Unions in Washington State are getting out of the office, and into your heads. What they have to offer you is advice on financial choices that make the whole work-and-future thingy relevant to what you're doing at this very second.

Making certain kinds of financial choices while you're in your teens and 20s changes your entire life. It makes being a millionaire a cinch. It makes working smarter - not longer - the path to wealth. It means that you have piles of cash at your disposal at a young age, and money loosely translated, means nothing but freedom. Freedom to pursue an interest, to go back to school, donate to a local charity, travel Asia over the summer, or just buy a sweet car.

It doesn't really matter what you do with it. It's that having it means you're free. You Are Free.

The trick is, you gotta do this stuff while you're young. Because if you wait until you're 30, you've missed the boat, the faster track to financial success.

Credit University is the place that schools you on life skills and gets you on that track. We're here to show you the truth that today's adults, 30 and over, just don't really get: Responsible money management seriously rocks. And not only that, it puts tons of dollars in your pocket tomorrow if you spend just a little bit less today.

Check out the podcast. There's a reason we're targeting you guys. You're the ones who are capable of getting it.
