You're not alone! It's a common phenom at MyFico. Being trusted is good, plus there's that huge gambler's thrill, what will happen when I click submit? Maybe I'll get instant approval or a CL with five digits? It's like pulling a handle on a slot machine, except that our credit scores give us a little better idea whether we'll get three cherries or a big nothing. It's also a great sense of security, knowing you have credit to help you if your car breaks down or you have to go to the emergency room. It's also not bad knowing you can take a trip or buy something you might not otherwise get. It's dangerous, but even the danger is part of what makes it so attractive. We say to ourselves, hey we can handle this!
. Must be the feeling of being trusted.
