Re: can this be considered a hobby?

Yes, this is my second hobby besides staying fit and making the gym my second home.  This site, along with the gym  I attend, keeps me physically and financially fit.

Hobby, addiction, obsession, and means of ducking washing dishes!

It can be considered OCD if you check your accounts in a certain order.

I cant speak for others, but if there was a FICO score and forum when I first started my CC debt reign of terror, I suspect I wouldn't have gotten as far with it as I did.  Just rmember not to be FICO score poor where you blow a good credit deal because you don't want to see a score drop.

Re: can this be considered a hobby?

Funny I do the same thing. I have all of our bills laid out in an excel spreadsheet. I check the sheet almost daily. I check bank account and credit card daily, even though I KNOW there aren't any new purchases on my CC. I just log in to look at the account daily, I don't know why. I pre-plan payments and figure in when we get paid. I get paid bi-weekly, husband weekly. So I know what days the checks will be in the bank and around how much they will be. So I plan it all out, almost a month in advance. I sometimes think of OCD LOL.

I think Myfico should start offering a credit card and the rewards would be unlimited fico reports!
