Cryptocurrency is undoubtedly the buzzword of the century. You can’t help but hear about it; every time you fire up a search engine or a news site on the Internet, there it is. And the one thing you really can’t have avoided seeing is the phenomenal way that some cryptocurrencies are rising in price. Before we dive further into cryptocurrency and how to trade with them, it is important for you to know something - although the prices are rising at a significantly fast rate, it is vital that you look at the whole picture. If you do, you will see that they can also drop at a huge rate.

Bad credit can prevent you from getting a mortgage, car loan, credit card, apartment, or even a job. It can also mean paying a bundle in rates and fees for any loans or credit you do get. There is a lot of confusion as to how your credit score changes and what the factors are. Don't be left in the dark as to why your credit is low.

Artificial Intelligence is a new buzzword. Everyone is talking about it. It's been implemented effectively in a number of industries. Though it's been slow to get moving in the real estate industry, it has taken over certain aspects of the industry and will grow rapidly in the next decade. As a real estate agent, real estate owner, or even just a person looking to buy/rent a new house, we're always looking to get the best price, best tenant, or best house that we can afford. And artificial intelligence is the tool that can work for everyone involved.

Like it or not, a healthy credit score is essential if you want to participate in today's financial world. But very few people actually understand how their credit score is determined. Worse yet, most don't know how their score is used by all kinds of companies and banks to dictate financial terms that will strongly affect their daily lives. When consumers interact with the world of credit, they do so from a position of weakness. In Your Score, Anthony Davenport aims to change that. Finally, there's a road map for navigating the confusing world of consumer credit.

Countless new scams & how to fend them off
Hope Oje’s SCAM! HOW TO AVOID THE SCAMS THAT COST VICTIMS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR was eye-opening. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, scammers keep leveling up the game. There are so many avenues that scammers use — tech support scams, Roku scams, Facebook scams, DEA scams, even philanthropic scams - these were all news to me. Thanks to this quick read, I will recognize them for what they are: hoaxes to defraud money from random, innocent people.
I learned that ANYONE, in a moment of weakness or fear, can make the mistake of believing a scammer’s proposition and fall prey to these thieves. This book provides practical advise to protect your savings and privacy from scammers. I highly recommend it.
