In this episode, Troy Millings speaks with credit expert Shonda Martin to discuss the crucial topic of establishing credit at a young age. Shonda stresses the importance of setting children up for financial success by adding them as authorized users on credit cards at 16 or 17 years old, ensuring they have an established credit profile by the time they turn 18.
