It tells me that you're now owned by the man...

Welcome to the club... My highest is 780, prob 740 now because I didn't pay my balance off like normal, however, I have never bought anything on credit, no car loan, house payments... nothing(all cash period). They love to see a loan and on-time payments of some kind for A1 credit.

I don’t really owe anything I have less then 8k in balances and it’s one of those Arb plays. The zero percent interest rate for 18 month deals that I take whenever they send or have time to look for something to do With it.

I don’t own anything under my name.

As far as credit goes one can build credit just by purchasing gas and grocery’s on a credit card and paying off the balance every month. Getting into the 700s is pretty easy doing that. No idea how I got into the 800s I certainly didn’t set out to try.
I know some people with really good credit but they have no money, whatever they make goes to their bills and their maxed-out cards. One paycheck away from being in serious doo-doo, however, they have kids, and the "American Dream" They will be fine eventually I believe.
