I Couldn’t Care Less About My Credit Score
Prior to 3 weeks ago, I hadn’t seen my credit score in more than 12 years. I couldn’t care less about it. In fact, I don’t even need one.
And yet this strange and mysterious number seems to loom over the lives of people like the specter of death.
Comments and emails about credit score on a post about using credit card rewards programs to fund travel included words such as “damaged”, “ruined”, and “destroyed.”
Are these incredible adjectives warranted? Can applying for a few credit cards result in real world pain and suffering? Should we spend more real $ on travel instead of using rewards points?
Or is a credit score just a meaningless number?
