Resource Center > Financial Management
Financial management and career management really go hand in hand. Career transitions often involve periods of time when you have no income. People often switch from one career that's high in salary to another that may pay less but have other benefits (such as fewer hours or more pleasurable work). Whatever the situation, managing your career intelligently also requires managing your finances intelligently. We have put together a collection of resources on this page to make the most of your finances.

Credit Report / Credit Rating
| Consumer Info - Many people are totally unaware of what their credit report looks like or what their credit rating is. This is a situation where what you don't know CAN hurt you! First, it's important to check your credit card periodically to make sure all the accounts listed are accounts you authorized. The first sign of identity theft is often noticing an account on a credit report that you didn't open. Second, a good credit report means favorable rates on credit cards and mortgages, which saves you money. You may even be eligible for a free credit report.
