      I don’t find that at all. I get the a’ha moment all too often. They literally just were never taught how any of it worked. Takes maybe 5-10 min of telling someone how it works, how the credit score works and how to manipulate it, and how to use credit without letting it get away from them.

        I feel that’s not the same thing as Joe Plumber under standing he pays a 30% charge on the balance of his credit card.
