In today’s episode Vee explores credit in America: how it started, how it evolved, and how it’s going in the present day.

She discusses the predatory practices of the financial industry, how credit scores are calculated, and how the more things change, the more they stay the same.

In this episode you’ll learn more about:

How credit began in the 1800s as word-of-mouth and community character vouches
Why a credit score is more than just an “I love debt score”
