How I Destroyed My Credit Score & Rebuilt It From the Ground Up

Today, I published a post on Medium on how I destroyed my credit score and rebuilt it from the ground up.

TL;DR

  • I got into an excessive amount of credit card debt when I was 20-something years old.
  • I was making minimum payments on each credit card and eventually got behind on payments.
  • Then, I found a company that saved me from this madness.
  • 2021 was the year I escaped debt and got my credit score from 300s to 750s

If you are experiencing financial troubles in life and in need of inspiration, this post may help shed light. There is a way out. It will be difficult, but you can do it. I am among the many thousands who did it and I just thought of sharing it here on the WA community.

While trying to create income streams, tackle those that are keeping you from making it happen - such as debt!
