    I don’t have a single friend who takes loans for anything except morgage, wedding or an affordable car. I haven’t met anyone who has said taking a loan and having a credit score is anything but bad.

      The credit system is a game to get you stuck constantly paying for things you’ll never afford. When I had no debt settled my student loans, and paid off my car, my CS was 630. Now I have 20 K of CC debt, a car loan, and a mortgage, and my score has never been higher.

      It’s a bullshit system, and now that I have a house, I’m going to clean all that up and go back to never spending on credit again.

      I did some time ago. This dude was absolutely reckless with money as a tween, taking out loans and credit cards left and right. He only shared that with me after knowing him four full years, though.
