When I started the journey to stellar credit 6 months ago, I had no idea what a FICO vs FAKO score was... Heck, I had no idea there WERE different scores. I just knew that my TU score (FAKO) SUCKED!!!! 543 it was!!!!
Well... on my journey of being what I call a "credit nazi" .... or rather "credit obsessed" I am the one who obsessively checks ALL my scores... EVERY day!!!!! 
It keeps me motivated... every little bit of movement is incredible!
What keeps you all motivated?
today... it was seeing my TU FAKO score hit 700! Doesn't mean crap... but it was the first time anything's hit 700 since I started this journey! So I'm taking it!!

I just want to be in the 800 club and hang out with all the cool kids... that is all. 
It's funny, or not... but all of the things you guys have said, they're dead on! Even hanging with the "cool kids" haha...
It's amazing how much I've learned from my experience on here!! I probably spend WAY too much time on here.... but if I had to choose between the community boards here, and Facebook, I'll choose here ANY day!!!!
And AZguy... you're SOOOO right!!! So much now-a-days is driven off of a score. That score allows you to buy a certain "quality" of life.... and yes, even some jobs!! Crazy, but I suppose with all of the craziness in the world now, its nice to have "something" that's somewhat concrete to hold onto!
Good point on the 700 on a ranking scale of some sort! it's the first 700 I've hit in WAY....TOO....LONG!! Now... shooting for 700 FICO!
