June 17, 2022 I Moved To Canada, Got A Credit Card & Found Myself $23,000 In Debt ft. Sono
We all know that credit cards can be mad predatory - we are handed them with little to no guidance and expected to figure it out ourselves. Sono, unfortunately, fell prey to this when he was given a credit card at age 18, shortly after moving to Canada. Over the years, he wound up in quite a bit of credit card debt and resorted to getting payday loans to help him stay afloat. This is his story. He teaches us how he got out of it and shares some lessons to ensure you don't go broke trying to get a credit card.
