Guilty. I find myself trying to rush to get tasks done just so I can log on. My daughter actually got mad at me because I was on my tablet during a softball game. She was out for an injury so I figured it was ok to just check the new posts. No harm, right?

Congrats on paying off the debt! I hope I get there soon! Gotta be a great feeling. Keep us posted on the CLIs.

You are NOT alone. I too read ALOT of posts on this forum. I read from my desktop and also from my cell phone when I'm at home. The information is just so helpful and after NOT having this kind of info for so long, I certainly don't want to miss anything now, LOL!!!

I constantly check this place whenever I can just in case I can pick up something valuable or know when a lot of people have gotten approved for a certain card, etc. I'm at college checking this site from my iphone

It has such a wealth of knowledge that I NEVER would have known had I not found this site. I have learned more about credit in 9 months than I have in 26 YEARS!! I went from having $0 revolving credit last Sept to $30k today. Myfico has completely changed my life and outlook on credit!

Step One, admit you have a problem. I think it's only a problem if my credit doesn't improve. Or I forget to eat.

I'm on here everyday, mostly at work. I've always got two tabs open on my browser, email, and myFICO.

ExplicitElicit — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 18:49:43 GMT

Thanks top! I was not pre approved for either and my EX fico was @ 702 but I was instantly approved for both! I wish I would've known about the amex one hit thing though before sadly I have two hard pulls within two weeks.

My fellow coworkers must think I'm a lunatic, I'm constantly on the forums (even as a guest). Most of the time I'm just educating myself on what's happening in the credit card sub-section.
