We are deep into the season of giving and there are so many individuals and organizations we would love to assist. Pretty much deciding if we are personally in the right place ourselves as being able to offer assistance is a question we ask ourselves often. We have to check ourselves sometimes to make sure that we don’t find excuses not to give though.

Giving is healthy and the right thing to do even if times are hard for us. Well, don’t take my advice on the subject; here is what Suze Orman has to say on the subject. This a YouTube clip from one of Suze Orman’s PBS show specials for her talks on ‘For The Young, Fabulous & Broke.’ Here she responds to an audience member’s question about how much to give to charities.

A lot of people don’t understand the difference between their credit score and their FICO score.  Suze Orman does a great job of explaining this difference in great detail in this video clip from the Suze Orman Show on CNBC:

 Key points:

• Every credit-related action is reported to a credit reporting agency
• car payments to Equifax, mortgage payments to Transunion
• Interest Rate is determined by FICO Score
  Low FICO Score = higher interest on loans, credit cards
• 3 Separate FICO Scores: one for each credit reporting agency
  each agency reports to FICO individually
• 90% of major lenders use FICO Score to determine your Interest Rate
