At a glance, credit cards might seem at odds with Financial Independence. After all, credit cards accrue “bad” debt, which many people consider anathema to FIRE goals. Even so, for those who manage their budgets well, credit cards can play a role in a frugal lifestyle. And while Dave Gow doesn’t have experience in this realm, Hayden does!
Join the duo this session as they explore credit card hacking – the art of maximising points, cashback, travel perks, and other rewards. The goal of credit card hacking is to get “free money” from signup bonuses or rewards from your everyday spending. And while it’s not for every risk appetite, it can align with some FI outlooks.
Tune in to find out how your credit cards could work for you!
