Hello, GrayViners! I hope your day is starting gently. Last weekend, I ran into an old high school classmate at the mall, and before we knew it, we were laughing about our school days. She was the sporty, popular one, while I was quieter and more studious. Funny how those roles once felt so permanent, even though life had plenty of twists ahead. 💛 It got me wondering: what were you like in school? Popular kid, bookworm, class clown, or happily average? Or maybe something else entirely. Come share your school-day self with us in the forum. I’d love to hear your stories!

Tackle your credit card debt by paying 0% intro APR until 2027

Did you know some credit cards can actually help you get out of debt faster? Yes, it sounds crazy. But it’s true.

The secret: Find a card with a “0% intro APR" period for balance transfers or purchases. This could help you fund a large purchase or transfer your debt balance and pay it down as much as possible during the intro period. No interest means you could pay off the debt faster.
