It means you believe that your genetics for impulse control has been properly demonstrated by your credit card score.

Getting confidence in my credit score to me means:  Being able to get credit and student loans for my children who will soon be off to college.  It's been a long haul for me recovering from a bankruptcy and divorce but I am getting there!  I have realized that my score and knowing what is happenening with my credit on a daily basis, is one of the most important things to ensure stability for me and my family.

I have never thought of or been taught financial business even through my grade school or college years.  I have traveled ups, downs, losses, gains.  Finally, after stumbling upon myfico and the vast information on the site, I can assure you that confidence in my credit is very positive.  I now know that my finances depend on my credit and my credit depends on my finances albeit killing two birds with one stone.

Confidence in my credit score is having peace of mind, positive outlook in life, endless opportunities and drive to help others. 

When I began rebuilding and becoming more responsible, I had to hit rock bottom with my financial status. Although I was content paying cash for everything after that, I failed to realize I was missing out on a lot of things, the perks and bonuses having good credit has to offer. For 2 years now, I have been doing well getting things back in order the way they used to be. I have acquired the credit I needed. That feeling you get knowing you are gaining the TRUST of institutions is amazing. With that, I am learning more and more to never break that trust. Financial responsibility is something you work with everyday. Being frugal and wise comes with more trust and more credit extended to you. The gratifying feeling, however, is to be able to help others who are going through what you went through. To be able to share the wisdom and knowledge you get from your experience is a priceless feeling.
