Why Your Credit Score Is Now More Important Than Ever as Financial Resources Diminish

In a world where financial challenges are the new norm, ensuring your financial security isn't a luxury—it's essential. In today’s video, we'll explore why your credit score holds the key to navigating today's complex financial terrain. From securing loans to accessing credit cards, we'll break down the vital role your credit score plays in every financial move you make. Recent data reveals that it has become increasingly challenging for ordinary individuals to secure loans or gain approval for credit cards, as banks and financial institutions have swiftly tightened their lending criteria. This tightening of lending standards encompasses measures like outright rejection of applicants, elevating minimum credit score prerequisites, imposing higher interest rates, and reducing credit limits.

In bucket 2, you invest in a diversified equity portfolio. Every year, when the market gives you gains, you take those gains and put them into the first bucket. If the market is down and your portfolio has lost ground, you leave it be. Literally that simple. Notice though in bucket 2 there are NO bonds. The reason is that your income, Social Security, pensions etc. should be viewed as your bond portfolio. So, given you have the bulk of your income coming from bonds there is no reason to add MORE bonds. You...
