How People Are Gaming The Credit Card Scoring System
HaHaHa -- I haven't got a CLUE what my credit score is, nor do I give a ____.
Mortgage paid off years ago, kids college expenses paid off likewise. Lucky enough to have a good retirement (God knows, I never started out thinking about it..) & home. 1 car, 1 truck; total age = 38 yrs, total miles = 300k, both cooking nicely thanks to 2 long-time excellent independent mechanics (no dealerships touched my cars, ever, once they left -- bought them both new before the dealers stuck a harness around you).
Yes, I'm way luckier than I every expected to be & be still having fun & enjoying what I like & can't imagine caring about that last digit on my credit score. Sorry for those who can't think of anything better to spend time on.

OK, to each his own...
