📢 APR = Annual Percentage Rate (aka, how much you REALLY pay to borrow money).

Before taking a new credit offer, always ask:
👉 “What’s the APR?”
👉 “Is it fixed or variable?”
👉 “When does the promo rate expire?”

What's the biggest mistake you made in one of your first jobs?

I'll start 💭 when I was 19, I quit a job with no notice & I was never able to use them as a reference, even if I was a great worker & team member, which hurt me applying for jobs later 😬
