what are your ADDICTION(S)?

I've been in the credit/credit card game since late last year and I'm addicted to checking my credit reports and maintaining my FICO scores. What are your addictions?

Same. I also started with credit late last year and well... I can't stop lol but I now have to forcefully stop so I can let INQ and Accounts age. I also have several credit monitering services that I am addicted to. My fiancée says I'm an addict. I DON'T disagree with her Smiley Very Happy

I'm addicted to applying for credit cards I don't really need, and then talking to my friends about them who don't give two bleeps about credit, and then coming here and getting my credit fix. Smiley Tongue

I'm addicted to gambling. $500-$700 per week. I don't lose that much per week. I go on Saturdays and and play and deposit what I have on Monday and I usually repeat.

Me talking to a psychiatrist:

 

I am so in  with love PNC, my bank. He is the one. He makes me feel SPECIAL. We've been together for 3 years now. I just happened to be walking through downtown, when I decided to drop in and open an account. Our banking life is GREAT. PNC does everything for me, and more, whether in the branch or on the phone. But I constantly find myself oogling other banks. I can't help myself. I like looking at what other banks offer in regards to checking, savings, and credit cards. Sometimes I wonder if I am making a mistake...

 

PNC is getting fed up. He says there's a million of me, and if I can't put a ring on it then he'll just move on to someone who will appreciate him more. He talks a lot, but he always comes back begging. It's just... I like to keep my options open, ya know?

But seriously, I do love looking at different banks more than I do credit cards or my FICO score. The FICO score I will probably become more concerned about the closer the time comes to getting a house. Until then, it is on the back burner.

 

I really don't have much in regards to an addiction, but there are definitely activities I enjoy more than other things: I prefer the internet over TV, I prefer reading over clubbing, and I have paid for a subscription to WoW for the last 2 years (although I usually only play about 4 hours a week). None of those things I would go so far as to call an addiction, but without it in my life I wouldn't be as happy.
