1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: border and families will.

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: So when it comes to using your credit card. When

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: it comes to using your credit card, most people think

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: that utilization depends on your usage, and it doesn't. It

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: just depends on what you carry over and I'll explain it.

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Utilization is only reported one day a month, so it's

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 3: on your statement day, which is the last day of

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: your billing cycle. Matter of fact, everybody who has a

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: credit card needs to look at their credit card statement

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 3: and find their statement date.

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: It's the last day of the billing cycle.

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: That date is so important because whatever balance that you

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: have on a credit card, that is what's going to

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: be reported to the credit bureaus and also used as

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: your utilization. Your statement date is different from your due date,

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: so most people get confused because your due date is

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 3: going to be before your statement date, probably like a week

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: or two prior. So even if you page your credit

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: card bill down to zero by your due date, if

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: that balance is not still under ten percent by your

36
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: statement date, then it's not going to be counted as

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: your utilization.

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: It's not going to be reported to the credit bureaus.

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: So knowing identifying when your statement date is, and making

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: sure that you pay your balance pay off at least

41
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: ninety percent of whatever you spent during the month pay

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: off that balance, then you'll be good because, like if

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: you have a five hundred dollars credit card, you can

44
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: use the entire five hundred dollars. You don't have to

45
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: stay below thirty percent or ten percent. You just have

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: to make sure you pay it back within that same

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: billing cycle, which is which is key.

48
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 5: Okay, So what are the first steps to building good

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 5: good credit history?

50
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 4: Okay?

51
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: So the first steps I would say is, so I

52
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: have a basic base level credit profile recommendation for everyone. Right,

53
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: I say that if you are wanting to build credit,

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: but like build a healthy credit profile that will continue

55
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: to grow and kind of set you up to get

56
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: high credit offers and low interest rates and all of that.

57
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: The base level credit profile, everyone needs at least two

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 3: credit cards. It needs to be at least two revolving

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: credit cards, right, doesn't matter, the limit doesn't matter. If

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: it's subprime, it doesn't matter. If it's secured. You can

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: literally get two hundred dollars credit cards, right, make sure

62
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: that you keep that utilization every single month, you keep

63
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: that utilization below ten percent. Right. And then because we

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: have to hit a limit of we have to hit

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: at least four accounts. Two of them will be credit cards.

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 3: The third account needs to be a short term installment.

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: A short term astabtment is just any installment under thirty

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: six months self kickoff.

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: They're every bank.

70
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: Pretty much offers a credit builder loan and then if

71
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: you can get a long term instopment, So if you

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: have a student loan, if you have a car loan,

73
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: if you have a mortgage, those are considered long term installments.

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: So if you already have those, you don't need to

75
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: apply for another one. Just focus on the other three

76
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: accounts and having those four accounts to being credit cards

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: to being installments short term and long term. It's going

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: to and not applying for anything else. I want to

79
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: be clear, do not apply for anything else after you

80
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: get that those credit those accounts. Don't apply for anything

81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: else for six to nine months, and you should be

82
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: able to get pretty much any credit card that you

83
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: want consider if you pay it on time and you know,

84
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: of course, make sure you're not getting collections and other things.

85
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's the perfect credit profile that speaks to

86
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: the credit scoring algorithm and will allow your credit score

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: to grow at the at the most rapid pace.

88
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 6: Would you put the buy now, pay later companies into

89
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 6: that short term right like the affirms of the world.

90
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: So it depends because I see a lot of those

91
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: on credit reports and I'm glad you.

92
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: Brought that up.

93
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: A lot of those people are getting them too often,

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: like they'll they'll finance a two hundred dollars purchase.

95
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: Any loan under two hundred dollars just looks like a

96
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 4: low level loan. It's not.

97
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't feed the algorithm of the credit scores. They

98
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: pretty much kind of look down on that, right. Like

99
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: so if you're applying for crediting and your lender sees

100
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: a lot of those by now pay later accounts and

101
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: low level is what they call low level accounts, that

102
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: almost regardless of what your score is, that that's almost

103
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: to your detriment because it looks like this person is

104
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 3: not financially stable.

105
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: A lot of people don't realize that.

106
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: Their score doesn't tell like their score is just for

107
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: a consumer. Really, when it comes to your lenders, they're

108
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: looking at so much more than your score, Like there

109
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: are so many other determinant factors of if you're going

110
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: to get approved for a car to a car over

111
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: your score, Like your score tells them nothing because you

112
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: can fossly inflate your score. People by trade lines all

113
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: the time and things of that nature. When it comes

114
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: to your credit profile, doing things like that. I would

115
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: not recommend, not in the beginning. Not unless you have

116
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: an established credit profile with years of credit history, then

117
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: you can kind of afford to have those accounts.

118
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 5: So okay, So what's the best ways to use credit

119
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 5: cards to improve your credit score?

120
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, credit cards are my favorite because, like I said,

121
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: they're like the only accounts that have in I media impact.

122
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: Like when you get a loan, you're not really going

123
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: to see you don't really see the positive benefits of

124
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: a loan until you're at least ninety percent. So most

125
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: people will get a car long and they're like, I've

126
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: been being my card on time.

127
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 4: Why is my.

128
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: Score not increasing? Is because you're very early into that loan.

129
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: Right when it comes to credit cards, you can see

130
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: a change in your credit score within like sixty days,

131
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: as long as you know how to use it. And

132
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: I would say how I use If we're we can

133
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: just use a two hundred dollars credit card for instance, Right,

134
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: if you have a two hundred dollar credit card, the

135
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: first thing you're going to do is identify your due

136
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: date and your statement day. Right your due date, you

137
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: want to make sure that you zero I zero out.

138
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880

Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

186
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: Balance on my DU date because any balance that you

187
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: carry over pass your due date, your bank can charge

188
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: you intereses on or will charge you interess on. So

189
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: after my DU date passes, I wait until my statement

190
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: date and I make sure that my balance is whatever

191
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: the credit card limit is. If I have a two

192
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 3: hundred dollars credit card, I make sure my balance is

193
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: will twenty dollars going into that next cycle. After your

194
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: statement day passes, rent and recycle. You can spend it

195
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: or do whatever you please. But identifying those two dates,

196
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: understanding when you need to pay your credit card, understanding

197
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: how much you need to carry over or not will

198
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: will be the saving grace for credit limit increases.

199
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 5: And that's up is it. You're supposed to pay off

200
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 5: the full balance or leave a little bit on because

201
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 5: some people say you're supposed to leave a little bit

202
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 5: on their credit card.

203
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 4: So that's a great question, and I'm glad you asked

204
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 4: that you.

205
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: I pay my full balance off by my due date,

206
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: so I'm not charged interest. However, I do carry over

207
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: one to three percent on my statement date. Why if

208
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: you report a zero zero percent utilization sometimes the algorithm

209
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: career that is you don't have a credit card one

210
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: or contrary to popular belief, lenders don't like when you.

211
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 6: Don't use your credit cards.

212
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, like they want to see usage because that doesn't

213
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: if you don't if you're not using your credit card,

214
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: that doesn't really speak to to your your money management

215
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: or financial management skills.

216
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: It just shows you don't use it.

217
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: Right, So if you're if you leave a small balance,

218
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: it shows that you use it, but also shows that

219
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: you pay it back.

220
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 6: I think that was that's a very common misconception, and

221
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 6: I have to realize that like I would use the card,

222
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 6: or even for the company, I would use a card

223
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 6: pay it on a personal level. When I did it,

224
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 6: I watched my credit card drop because it shows that

225
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 6: I had zero I'm like, wait, I thought I'm doing

226
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 6: the right thing, because I have nothing, but it shows

227
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 6: that there's zero utilization there. But let's stay on utilization.

228
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 6: When is it a good time to now ask for

229
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 6: a credit increase?

230
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: Ooh, my favorite, depending on the bank, I ask for

231
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: a credit limit increase every ninety one to like one

232
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty days, like I'm getting on all of

233
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: my credit cards. I'm getting multiple credit limit increases a year.

234
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: But you have like so my sort of trick or

235
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: not trick. But what I advise of people is if

236
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: you know you have a card that can obviously grow

237
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: because you have some cars that they just won't give

238
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: you capital. They won't give you an increase, they'll they'll

239
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: give you an increase, or they may not give you increase,

240
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: or it'll be like very minimal. Right, So, if you're

241
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: dealing with like am I able to say companies names,

242
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: If you're dealing with what's considered the top three, which

243
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: is AMAX Chase in city, they're going to give you

244
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: a credit limit increase.

245
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: However, you have.

246
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: To make sure that's the sixty days prior to you.

247
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: Until you're asking for that increase, you are feeding the algorithm.

248
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 3: Number one, make sure you have automated payment on. Right,

249
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: it could be for at least your minimum payment, Like,

250
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: it doesn't have to be your full balance. Just have

251
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: auto pay on because the system loves that.

252
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: Right.

253
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: Make sure that you have at least two reoccurring charges

254
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: on your credit card. By the way, any subscription that

255
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 3: people have this this is one thing that draws me crazy.

256
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: If you have Netflix, Hulu, Apple Music, in a list

257
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: of a host of other subscriptions that we have, make

258
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: sure those are on a credit card. Like, there's no

259
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: reason why an auto any subscription should be from a

260
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 3: debit card, because that's a wasted opportunity to have reoccurring

261
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: charges on your credit card. Having at least two reoccurring charges,

262
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: having auto pay set up, making sure you do at

263
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: least ten transactions within that month, and also, like I said,

264
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: making sure you pay on time. Do that for at

265
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: least sixty days, so two billing cycles. And then you

266
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 3: apply for an increase. But if you have a card

267
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: and you're not using it, you're not going to get

268
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: a credit limit increase, no matter regardless of how high

269
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: your credit card is, a lot of banks will not

270
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 3: give you the increase simply because you just don't use

271
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: the card enough because that's actually the number one reason

272
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 3: for a credit limit increased denials is low usage on

273
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: the card.

274
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 5: So, okay, how can you avoid pitfalls with credit cards?

275
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 5: Because obviously a lot of people fall in the issues

276
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 5: don't spend too much. But yeah, you know what, in

277
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 5: some ways, it's like best practices as far as using

278
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 5: credit cards the right way.

279
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: Yes, that's a big one.

280
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: And to be completely honest, like I tell people, credit

281
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: card is not an extension of your money. It should

282
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: replace the money like your bank account. Right. So, I

283
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: am a person that lives off my credit card. And

284
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: when I say live off my credit card, I mean

285
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: all of my daily expenses are.

286
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 4: Anything that could be on a credit card.

287
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: I use my credit card for because I want the points,

288
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 3: I want the usage and all of that.

289
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 4: However, I make sure that I pay it back. That's

290
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 4: the thing.

291
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: Do not spend if you don't have it in your

292
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: bank account or no, you're not getting get in your

293
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: bank account within the next two weeks. You don't have

294
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: it to spend, regardless of if it's a credit card

295
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: or or what. The only exception is if it's like

296
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 3: an emergency, you know, like if you just can't help it.

297
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: You have a true emergency, not shopping or anything like that.

298
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: Then it's really easy to manage your credit card as

299
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: long as you're not looking at it as if it's an.

300
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: Extension of your money.

301
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: It's not.

302
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: You have to pay it back, and it's just like

303
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: that's where checking your financial habits will come into play.

304
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: A lot of times people will improve their credit, get

305
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: access to these high limit cards, and then they find

306
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: themselves in the hole deep because they're just they can't

307
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: they can't manage their money properly. They go out and spend, spend, spend,

308
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: and I realize and like, you gotta pay that back.

309
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, you just got to make sure that you're

310
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: not looking at your credit card limit as your money,

311
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: because it's not.

312
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: An illegal Alam from Guatemala charged with raping a child

313
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,359
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

314
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,720
