Credit Cards & Divorce: My Financial Nightmare Turned Success Story #shorts

And I appreciate it because I wanted to know, like, what got you into learning about credit?

So I came from a household of. My parents were young when they had me, and so my mother was mostly the one who raised me. And from an early age on, my mother always talked about, you got to own real estate, you got to own real estate. And so she was in her 20s when she first bought her first two unit property. And that was just the one thing. She was the first person in our family to do that. And she always talked about the importance of credit. But she also had 45 million, 000 credit cards too. And I saw her run them up and then she'd be, you know, all miscombobulated about or whatever, and then she get out and all these things. Then she filed bankruptcy. And I'm just like, this, the credit thing, it looks like free money. It looks good. But got married, bought a lot of properties with my husband. Fixed, flipped and all that. The crash came in 2007, eight or whatever. Everything went down and then kind of built back up. And then he was doing things using my credit that I didn't know about. And then we went through the divorce. I tried to go get something on my own, and I'm like, what is that? I didn't do that. What is this? Oh, my God. No, no, no, no, no, no. So anyway, that's how I got into that.
