Re: Addicted to myfico and tracking my debts

I used to spend on credit reports when I had baddies.

I signed up for citi identity monitor with 3 cr and scores in November after all my baddies dropped off. It's only 4.95 a month ;D

I feel the same way too...being in the wrong profession. I wish I could make my same salary doing this all day.

Re: Addicted to myfico and tracking my debts

I also forgot to mention people get annoyed when I talk about my credit or increases I get . Haha, I can't shut up sometimes. It's like how my friend talks about cars all the time (he's a mechanic) . I think I should be the next suze orman(the male version)

Re: Addicted to myfico and tracking my debts

I am paying about $30 a month on credit monitoring services. But I think I am going to cancel freecreditreport.com (been a member since 2009 when my scores were in the toilet bowl) and just keep paying for score watch.

You guys are telling me...i'm having a mid-collegiate crisis right here!! As much as I love my major, I love it just as much as credit/finance, and the two sometimes conflict...(aka me being on the boards all day instead of studying for PhysMet...). For years I thought I would get my bachelor's in meteorology, then my Master's...but now it looks like i'm leaning toward a master's in personal finance! Definitely would be great for me to go right into the work force after I graduate, work in the met. field, and at the same time take online course's for my Master's! And then from there, at least I have two of my greatest passions to fall back on Smiley Happy

I cant see myself cutting any of it loose because I check everything once a day in the AM.

Re: Addicted to myfico and tracking my debts

I am subscribed to SW here, Amex CS unlimited for myself and Amex CS regular for my DW. So about $50 a month to monitor our reports. It's not too bad. Less than a tank of gas.
