Can either a FICOnian or FICOrican become a FICOnaut? Smiley Happy

 

When someone calls me a FICOnut,

is that almost as good as being called a FICOnaut? Smiley Very Happy

I had CC 70k of debt before I meet DW and now I has $24 (for reporting purpose). She motivated me to get out of debt.  LOL I wish she liked to spend money just a little bit since she always after me when I buy a DVD.

I'll bet she has an ankle bracelet on you that alerts when you hit the parking lot at Best Buy, doesn't she? Smiley Wink

Hello again all,

   I do need to apologize as I stated something out of context (and frustration) but I want to take back that comment that "my debt rose from 7,500 to 24,000 because my wife is female" remark, really should have read "because I allowed it to and my darling wife is worth the difficulty it incurred".  Also should have included "I didn't really count up where the debt was going until it was right at the top",  so it does take two for that dance.  Apologies....  I give plenty of credit to my female counterparts who do value a dollar and have it in themselves to use good wise judgment in spending habits and are financially saavy.

HA, I don't know where that FICO-rican thing came from, just off the top of my head, and from reading all these great credit ideas you guys gave me, like I've found some seclusive investment club or something LOL.  I do like FI corehcan pronunciation though LOL....

I'v been buying DVDs at HEB these days since they give a $5 shoping card with the new releases.  I thought it might work where I gave DW the $5 shoping card.  It didnt.
