Mine's around 790 last time I checked (out of boredom at work one day).

I have one regular credit card, which I mostly use for Amazon purchases, which I pay off every month in full. I put the rewards points towards cashback (paying my balance). I'm sure my credit card company hates me because they are probably in the hole with me lifetime.

I have no student loan debt, no mortgage, and haven't financed a vehicle in a decade.

Hate to break the news to you, but if you have to worry about your FICO score - you ARE one of the poors.

If you don't need to buy anything on credit - you don't need to give a frick about credit scores



This is bad.. Credit is literally everything in this world. I great credit score speaks volumes about a person and their future.

I haven't ever much cared but this piqued my interest.

791

My best guess is the first negative they showed is driving it down a bit, as that's the only one applicable:
"You have either very few loans..."

House has been paid for for a while, last 4 cars we paid cash, etc.

Congrats on your high score, but I'm not sure why I should care about interest rates I'm subject to when I don't pay interest?

Which was where I was heading with OP.

While scores may be something to be proud about, nobody was discussing what interest rates they were paying at their score level.

That would be more interesting.

I have had people that have $30K down and still can not get approved

your credit score has absolutely nothing to do with how much income you have. More times than not people that make more money tend to have a lesser score.

This is me. I use credit cards for rewards points and that is all I have affecting my credit score. No plans to move and if I did, sell my home and buy the other one with the cash.
It's called being responsible with your money.
