The Wu-Tang Clan said it best - “...Cash rules everything around me. C.R.E.A.M., get the money”. In reality, it's more like credit. Having no credit or bad credit can hold you back. Especially if you are trying to build a business or live your best life. So two years ago during Financial Literacy Month (April), I made the decision that it's time for a change. I'm rewriting my money (love/hate) story. What is a money story? According to Women Who Money, your money story is made up of your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about money.
