Breaking the Money Taboo: Open Conversations for Talk Money Week
Our weekly #CreditChat started in 2012 to help our community learn about credit and important personal finance topics (e.g. saving money, paying down debt, improving credit scores). Each chat is hosted by @Experian on X (formerly Twitter) and all are welcome to participate. DM us any questions.
Join us for an empowering #CreditChat where we’ll dive into the importance of normalizing conversations about finances. Discover how open discussions around money can reduce financial anxiety, improve financial literacy, and help you achieve your financial goals.
