I think this is one of those silly articles written when maybe the author was having a glass of wine, or two, while perusing her credit scores. The article just doesnt make any sense at all. Thumbs down.

Re: 2 in 10 would give up alcohol for an 800 score

While an 800 score would be nice to have consistently, I've had an 805 twice in the last two years. So I don't think it's a freaking Unicorn.

Like an above poster said, it takes work to get higher scores. Not winning the lottery or new years resolution type scenario.

 

I tend to think most of those people who think like that, possibly have sub 600 scores and littered with negatives?

Anyone who has a score of 700 is already on the right track and should be there soon, so no need for this line of thought. And lets remember a recent article about 760-780 scores being in a pretty good range.

 

I know when I was in the 600 club I used to dream about what an 800-850 could get me, then found out being in the 780 range has gotte me some pretty good rates and CC products. So I can't complain one bit about not being above 800, and TBH probably won't hurt my feelings if I never achive it.

 

I also don't drink aside from a few times a year for social purposes. In fact i can't think of one thing I'd give up for an 800 score, like i could even give anything up in the first place. lol

Sounds like one of those silly FB pictures that asks if you'll live in a log cabin for a month with no tv/internet for a million dollars. Who's handing out the million dollars?

 

I'll stick with being the tortoise and let those hares ruin themselves with shadey quickfixes

"Needless to say, my wife cut me off, but it didn't stop me and my friends from trying to act out the nativity scene with a stuffed penguin in front of a house that still had Christmas lights and a gingerbread house still up."

 

@Brian_Earl_Spilner is a pro. I must now find that Ring Doorbell video on YouTube before I die: "OMGLOL look at what these guys did on my lawn!"

 

And how did that post only have 47 (now 48 because me) kudos?
