Don’t get taken for a ride this summer at the theme park

The best way to save money at theme parks this summer is simple. Don’t go.

Peak season means peak pricing. Admission discounts can be hard to find, and nearby hotels jack up their rates. Add in the always-inflated prices of food, souvenirs and parking, and you’re buying a pretty expensive day out. At the mega-parks operated by Disney and Universal, a family of four can easily spend $1,000 per day.

In my latest for the Associated Press, how to rein in costs while keeping your sanity.

    Dear Liz: I recently requested my first TransUnion Credit Report.
    When young and working, I opened and used numerous credit cards which are listed in the credit report. I have not used most of cards in over 30 years and would like to cancel most of the cards.
    Would this affect my credit ranking in the long term?
    Your assistance regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.
