Credit Union Perks, and Getting Into the Housing Market

Where you bank can have a big impact on your community. To start off this episode, Sean and Liz talk about the benefits of credit unions, including how they can offer lower rates on loans and higher rates on savings accounts — while keeping your money local.

Then Sean and occasional co-host Sara Rathner answer a listener’s money question about how to get into the housing market.
