The allure of readily available credit is hard to resist for many as they set off on their financial path. Join our hapless hero, in this all too familiar but somehow forgotten tale of temptation, responsibility, and reward. Like his father before him, he must ascend credit mountain in order to achieve his destiny. Credit gives you the power to make purchases, purchases that will build a credit history and will allow you to make future purchases. But remember, with great spending power comes great fiscal responsibility. Watch, in part one of our animated epic (it’s like the Lord of the Rings but shorter) as our hero succumbs to the dark side. What will happen next?
