Credello: As summer approaches, many of us are eagerly planning our dream vacations. However, financing a summer vacation can be a challenge for some. Let's explore smart strategies to help you fund your summer getaway in 2023 without negatively impacting your credit score. We will also discuss specific factors that do not affect your credit, ensuring you make informed decisions along the way.
Create a vacation budget
Before diving into financing options, it's essential to establish a realistic budget for your summer vacation. Consider expenses such as accommodation, transportation, meals, activities, and souvenirs. By having a clear understanding of your financial boundaries, you can make better decisions when it comes to funding your trip.
Save money in advance
One of the most effective ways to finance a summer vacation is to save well in advance. Set aside a portion of your monthly income specifically for your vacation fund. Consider automating your savings through autopay, directing a set amount of money from your paycheck into a separate savings account. This ensures consistent progress without relying on willpower alone.
Take advantage of travel rewards programs
If you have a credit card that offers travel rewards, now is the perfect time to utilize them. Research credit cards that provide travel-related perks, such as airline miles or hotel points, and choose one that aligns with your vacation plans. Be sure to pay off your balance in full each month to avoid accruing interest and maintain a healthy credit score.
Explore peer-to-peer lending
Peer-to-peer lending platforms offer an alternative financing option for your summer vacation. These platforms connect borrowers directly with lenders, cutting out traditional financial institutions. While interest rates and terms vary, peer-to-peer lending can provide quick access to funds without impacting your credit score. Remember to compare rates and read reviews to ensure you choose a reputable platform.
Consider a personal loan
If you prefer a more traditional lending option, a personal loan can be viable for financing your summer vacation. Personal loans typically have fixed interest rates and set repayment terms, making budgeting easier. However, it's important to borrow responsibly and only take on what you can comfortably repay. While personal loans can affect your credit score, managing them responsibly can have a positive long-term impact.
Utilize vacation layaway programs
Many travel agencies and vacation providers now offer layaway programs, allowing you to pay for your trip in installments over time. This option can be particularly useful if you prefer to avoid interest charges or are hesitant about taking on new debt. Ensure you thoroughly understand the terms and conditions of the program, including cancellation policies, before committing.
Factors that do not affect your credit score
It's crucial to understand what factors have no impact on your credit score to make informed financial decisions. For example, autopay won't negatively affect your credit score. In fact, setting up autopay for your bills can help ensure timely payments and improve your credit score. Additionally, income, employment history, and assets do not directly influence your credit score, although lenders may consider them during the loan application process.
Bottom line
Financing a summer vacation in 2023 doesn't have to be daunting. Remember to choose options that align with your financial situation and goals, and always prioritize making timely payments to maintain or improve your credit score.

Chuck Norris wants to make a sequel to one of his most-loved films, Sidekicks.
There are a few films that successfully derived the formula of The Karate Kid while making a name for itself with its own identity. One of those movies is the quaint 1992 Chuck Norris film, Sidekicks, a movie recently featured on our list of the Best Chuck Norris Films. This movie would feature an added plot element where the young protagonist finds himself often daydreaming of having adventures alongside his biggest influence, Chuck Norris, that playfully parodies the different films that Chuck has made throughout his career. It would all culminate in getting to meet the Texas Ranger himself as dream becomes reality, and the two team up in a karate tournament.
According to ComicBook.com — the man, the myth, the legend — Chuck Norris recently appeared at Nashville Comic-Con. During his panel, Norris was asked by ComicBook.com’s Chris Killian, “What do you feel is your most underappreciated film? For me, it has to be Sidekicks, which was such a fun film, and an ingenious concept and felt in a lot of ways like a movie that was before its time.” Norris responded, “I agree, Sidekicks is one of my films that holds a special place in my heart and if I were ever offered a sequel, I would absolutely take up that offer. It’s a film that inspires hope and courage, especially to the youth.”
Sidekicks was a project that Norris had done just as he was about to take off on his hit CBS show, Walker, Texas Ranger. The movie’s star was an up-and-comer named Jonathan Brandis, who had previously had credits that included The Neverending Story II and Ladybugs. Brandis would go on to join the ensemble of the sci-fi NBC series SeaQuest (a show we profiled for our series Gone But Not Forgotten). Tragically, the young actor would pass in 2003. In Sidekicks, the rival dojo master would be played by former SNL member Joe Piscopo, who sported a muscular physique and would go toe-to-toe with Norris in the end.
If a sequel is made, it, unfortunately, would not be able to continue the relationship between Norris and Barry Gabrewski due to Brandis’ passing. However, its concept can always be explored through another fan of Norris. Joe Piscopo is still active in acting, so a sequel could inevitably involve a bitter Kelly Stone who has an ongoing vendetta against Chuck. There are many possibilities. All it takes is a daydreamer to make it happen.
A clip from the horror comedy Mad Heidi shows a couple minutes of killer combat. Film is receiving a one-night theatrical release next week
First published in 1881, Swiss author Johanna Spyri’s novel Heidi is one of the best-selling books ever written. As Wikipedia explains, the story follows “a joyful and free-spirited young girl who is orphaned as a toddler” as she develops a friendship with a girl named Klara, who is unable to walk. More than 140 years later, the Swiss icon Heidi has been reimagined as Mad Heidi for an over-the-top action-adventure horror comedy. Raven Banner Releasing and Swissploitation Films are teamping up with Fathom Events to give Mad Heidi a one-night theatrical release on June 21st – and in anticipation of that event, a clip that features some “killer combat” has been released online and can be seen at the bottom of this article.
The Fathom Events of Mad Heidi is scheduled to take place at 7pm local time on the 21st. “Exclusive to the Fathom event is an introduction from stars Casper Van Dien and Alice Lucy as well as co-directors Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein.” To find out if Mad Heidi will be showing in a theatre near you, and to purchase tickets, head over to FathomEvents.com.
Hartmann and Klopfstein wrote the screenplay with Trent Haaga and Gregory D. Widmer. The English-language film boasts a budget of $3.5 million, $2 million of which was raised through crowd investment from 560 people across 19 counties. The film presents Heidi as she’s never been seen before – with smocked dress, puffed sleeves, apron and pigtails, yes, but as a badass, kick-ass rebel with the brute strength to slice an opponent in two, top to toe, with a battle axe, for example. In a dystopian Switzerland that has fallen under the fascist rule of a cheese magnate, Heidi lives as a simple young woman in the mountains. Her grandfather does his best to protect her from the bad influences of the world, but soon her longing for personal freedom will spark a revolution. The naive mountain girl turns into a fierce fighter who has to put an end to the cheese fascists.
Mad Heidi stars Alice Lucy (Junction 9) as Heidi and Almar G. Sato (Maniac Tales) as Klara. Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) and David Schofield (Gladiator) are also in the cast.
Are you interested in Mad Heidi, and will you be checking it out on the big screen next week? Let us know by leaving a comment below… and while you’re scrolling, take a couple minutes to watch the “killer combat” clip:

DC Studios co-head James Gunn says that Michael Rosenbaum was the best Lex Luthor, having played the role in Smallville for seven seasons.
There have been many actors to play the role of Superman over the years, and nearly as many to play his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor. Everyone has their favourite incarnation of the villain, but DC Studios co-head James Gunn has a clear pick for the best Lex Luthor — Michael Rosenbaum.
Micheal Rosenbaum played Lex Luthor on Smallville, the long-running superhero drama which chronicled the early years of Clark Kent before he became Superman. James Gunn appeared on Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast, and when the topic of Luthor came up, Gunn was quick to say, “You are the best Lex, let’s admit it. We know you’re the best Lex.” When Rosenbaum said, “Come on, you’re being funny,” Gunn responded, “I’m not being funny. You’re definitely the best Lex. Definitely.” Although James Gunn wouldn’t confirm that Lex Luthor will return in Superman: Legacy, reports have hinted that the role will be cast once the production nails down Superman and Lois Lane.
The actor played Lex Luthor on Smallville for seven seasons before departing, but he would return for the series finale. After driving his car off a bridge, Luthor was saved by Clark Kent, and the pair quickly became friends. Throughout the series, that friendship was strained and ultimately broken, setting the pair on the path to becoming foes.
James Gunn will write and direct Superman: Legacy, and he has promised that the movie’s tone will be different from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Co-chair of DC Studios Peter Safran has also teased that Superman: Legacywill not be an origin story and will focus on “Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. Superman represents truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned.” While fans were obviously disappointed when Henry Cavill was dismissed from the role so soon after his brief return in Black Adam, I am excited for someone new to take on the character and to see what James Gunn can do with the Man of Steel. Superman: Legacy will hit theaters on July 11, 2025.

Credello: When it comes to your credit score, you might think that your landlord plays no role in its determination. After all, credit scores are typically associated with credit card payments, loans, and other financial obligations. However, your landlord's actions can impact your credit score in certain situations. Let's explore the connection between landlords and credit scores, the difference between FICO and the three credit bureaus, and how to read a tri-merge credit report.
Understanding Credit Scores and Reporting Agencies
Before delving into the role of landlords, it's essential to grasp the basics of credit scores and credit reporting agencies. Your credit score is a numerical representation of your creditworthiness, ranging from 300 to 850 in the most widely used scoring model, FICO. The higher your score, the better your credit.
The three major credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, collect and maintain credit information on individuals. They compile data from various sources, including lenders, credit card companies, and, sometimes, landlords. While they use similar factors to calculate credit scores, the specific algorithms and weightings may vary.
Can Landlords Impact Your Credit Score?
Landlords can affect your credit score in two primary ways: through rental payments and negative reporting. Traditionally, rental payments were not included in credit reports, but the introduction of rent reporting services has changed this landscape.
Rental Payments and Credit Score
Rent reporting services allow landlords to report their tenants' payment history to credit bureaus. When you consistently make on-time rent payments, these services can potentially boost your credit score. By demonstrating your reliability and financial responsibility, future lenders may view you as a more trustworthy borrower.
Negative Reporting
On the flip side, landlords can also negatively impact your credit score if you fail to meet your rental obligations. If you miss rent payments and your landlord sends your account to a collections agency, it can appear as a negative item on your credit report. This can significantly harm your credit score and make it challenging to secure credit in the future.
Understanding the Difference Between FICO and the Three Credit Bureaus
FICO is a credit scoring model developed by the Fair Isaac Corporation, widely used by lenders to assess creditworthiness. On the other hand, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion are credit reporting agencies that collect and maintain credit information.
How to read a tri-merge credit report
A tri-merge credit report combines the information from all three credit bureaus into a single document. Understanding how to read this report is crucial for assessing your overall creditworthiness. Here are the key components to look for:
Personal information
This section includes your name, address, social security number, and other identifying details. Ensure all information is accurate and up-to-date.
Credit accounts
Review this section to see your current and past credit accounts, including credit cards, loans, and mortgages. Check for any discrepancies or unfamiliar accounts that could indicate identity theft.
Payment history
This portion shows your payment history for each account. Timely payments positively impact your credit score, while late or missed payments can have adverse effects.
Public records
Look for any bankruptcies, tax liens, or judgments filed against you. These negative items can significantly impact your creditworthiness.
Inquiries
This section lists the entities that have requested your credit report. Multiple inquiries within a short period can slightly lower your credit score.
Bottom line
While your landlord's actions may not directly impact your credit score, they can influence it indirectly through rent reporting services and negative reporting. By consistently making on-time rental payments, you can potentially boost your credit score, making you a more appealing borrower. Conversely, failing to meet your rental obligations can result in negative reporting, harming your creditworthiness.

Credello: As a young adult, stepping into the world of credit cards can be both exciting and intimidating. It's a significant financial milestone that requires careful consideration and responsible usage. Choosing the right credit card for beginners and understanding how to make the most of it can set you on a path toward building a strong credit history. Let's explore the best credit cards for beginners and tips to use your first credit card wisely.
Research the best credit cards for beginners:
When embarking on your credit card journey, finding a card that suits your needs and financial situation is essential. Here are a few key factors to consider while researching the best credit cards for beginners:
Low Annual Percentage Rate (APR): Look for cards with a low APR to avoid paying high interest charges if you carry a balance from month to month.
No Annual Fees: As a young adult starting out, you may prefer a credit card without an annual fee to keep costs minimal.
Rewards Programs: Some credit cards offer rewards, such as cashback, points, or travel benefits. Consider your spending habits and choose a card that aligns with your preferences.
Credit Limit: Look for a card with a reasonable credit limit that matches your financial situation. Avoid getting a card with a high limit that may tempt you to overspend.
Establish good credit habits:
Once you've selected your first credit card, developing responsible credit habits is crucial. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your credit card:
Create a Budget: Set a monthly budget to track your expenses and ensure you can comfortably pay off your credit card balance each month. This will prevent unnecessary debt and late payment fees.
Pay on Time: Paying your credit card bill on time is crucial for building a positive credit history. Consider setting up automatic payments or reminders to avoid missing due dates.
Keep Your Utilization Low: Aim to keep your credit utilization ratio below 30%. This means using only a fraction of your available credit limit, demonstrating responsible credit usage.
Avoid Maxing Out Your Card: Resist the temptation to max out your credit card, as it can negatively impact your credit score. Use your card for necessary expenses and stay within your means.
Monitor your credit:
Regularly monitoring your credit is an important habit to develop as a credit card user. It lets you stay aware of your credit score, detect errors or fraudulent activity, and track your progress. Consider signing up for free credit monitoring services or using reputable websites to access your credit report.
Graduating to advanced credit cards
After successfully managing your first credit card, you may be eligible for more advanced credit cards with additional benefits. As your credit score improves, explore options that offer enhanced rewards, higher credit limits, or exclusive perks. Remember to research these cards thoroughly before applying.

By researching the best credit cards for beginners and following the tips outlined in this guide, you can make informed decisions and use your credit card responsibly. Establishing good credit habits early on will set a solid foundation for future financial endeavors, helping you confidently achieve your goals.
