McCathern Painter’s heart sank when she learned her cat, Cinco, needed emergency surgery.
Ms. Painter later confessed her first thought wasn’t kitty’s health. The nearly $1,000 credit-card charge would cost her a victory over her pizzeria co-workers in their monthly competition for highest credit score.
830 currently. I’ve been over 800 virtually my entire adult life. Always pay all your bills on time, pay your credit card off completely every month, and carry as little other debt as possible, preferably zero. I know it’s not always easy to do these things.
So WTF is 850? Having a ton of revolving debt you make payments on every day? Sounds nice!?
Those credit card companies have you right where they want you. If you don’t need credit, just stop.
This is idiotic. Anything over 700 is considered excellent. A fart into the wind can make it change.
The smugness score of these people is 850
850. I use my Amex for everything. Pay on my phone app weekly.
Own my home. Debt free. Good job. Score in the 700’s. WTF
Staying in the 800 Club is simple and easy. Just learn from the pass...
The real humor in this story comes from all the people responding with their credit scores as if we’re supposed to be impressed by a total stranger’s finances...
Divide The combined net worth of the 400 richest americans is 3 trillion dollars.. How much U.S. currency is there? There is approximately 1.7 trillion dollars currently in circulation.. Where does that leave half those people and hundreds of millions of peoples bank accts
815 for a decade.
If you are going to post a story, do so and not ask us to subscribe. Bloody trickery!
Easy for me. Haven't been below 800 in years.
I can't read the full story. I'm just wondering, is the kitty still alive? 😅
I was sitting nicely at 805 a few months ago and then I went back to grad school.
