My worst fears have been realized, and I am now addicted to credit. Not obtaining credit, but getting a very high score.. clearing it up and watching for changes.,.
Anyone else here addicted to your credit scores? or am I alone?
While I don't have an addictive personality, I will admit that I have caught the credit contagion 
I visit here almost daily and tweek my rebuild/gardening plans.

I imagine that will happen to everyone eventually. All of my "Goal Cards" will be tied to my greatest passion.. travel. So, I'm hoping that will keep the credit game interesting for me for quite some time.
I feel you . . . Checking the improved scores is an achievement and you feel protective of that achievement. However, I don't check as frequently now. I realized getting approved can be 'random' at times. I mean you can do everything right and get denied and not really know why. Also, it takes awhile for the credit agencies to update the reports. Sometimes the wait can drive your crazy. I've gone from checking multiple times a day to once a week. My goal is to check once a month or when I am planning to apply for future credit.
My wife certainly thinks i'm obsessed with my credit but I just remind her there's worse things I could be doing with my time.
WOW! I thought it was just me 😂😂😂 Same routine for me

Since about the beginning of Nov., my knowledge about credit has gone from 0 to 100.. and I've had pretty decent success in clearing up my reports. That being said, I find myself checking my credit score multiple times per day.. Credit Karma, Nerd Wallet, Credit sesame, Mint, Regions and Discover lol..

I started off weary of credit lol, but last month I learned so much and I was ready to seriously tackle it lol. I was bummed when I found out my real scores. Learning the difference from FAKO and FICO was major for me. I do find myself jittery checking for score updates and wondering on what's my next move to expand my horizon. Slowly but surely. So tempted to create a credit tune.
