In this episode, Zulfiqar Ali explores the fundamental shift from using your own money (debit) to using the bank's money (credit). Zulf discusses how to integrate credit cards into your personal "operational infrastructure" to build a history of reliable borrowing that future lenders and mortgage providers love to see.

Learn the "Coffee Strategy" for credit building, the importance of setting up direct debits to avoid interest, and how to choose a card that actually gives you something back.
