lost my job and couldn't bounce back fast enough.

credit cards payments hit my bank account and everything went to negatives and collections.... including my bank account.

once I pay it all off, I'll prolly get a couple of secured credit cards, attach each one to a recurring bill/utility and start over from scratch.

It's not the first time I've lost everything or even the second. When nobody's got your back, shyt's like walking a tightrope.

Take L's and bounce back. :manny:
Sorry to hear that breh. Hope you make it back to the top

:yeshrug:,, that shyt is a joke anyway,,,I remember I paid my car off early and that shyt dropped about 20 points
:russ:

Happened to me as well.

when they gonna stop putting medical bills on your report? That’s an unforeseen bill as far as I’m concerned and you shouldn’t be penalized on your credit report.

This. Man I’ve paid off my car note on time for five years and just about done paying it off and that shyt hasn’t changed my score that much. I think I only got a 20 month bump as well when I paid off my other car smh. Credit is a joke

Car credit is a different type of credit score that you may not see. For example You may have a 800 FICO but when a car place run your report, it may read 720 and vice versa. Same with houses credit cards and loans

I am not sure if you are serious or not. However, when I refinance my home I can take the equity and get 2 condos for AirBnB or expand my business. Getting a car and going through a credit union to get that 2-3% interest rate. With my business credit line at Wells Fargo, I can buy 400k worth of goods for Q4 2020 and make a cool ass return since I know I can make double that. I get plenty of rewards and can get loans interest free which will as well boost my scores.
I understand the chaining together, but i guess my real question is...what do you do for a living where you actualize those investments?

I think you left that out. Thats why I didn't get the point of why people keep suggesting this. They never mention what they actually do for a living.

It does not matter what somebody does for a living. Who would not want good credit scores? Breh, unless you don't care about your finances, you should always want a good credit score

Nap. I do not trust you enough with this info.

Let's say I am an entrepreneur and business owner of 2 enterprises.
ok. well that seems more useful than encouraging people to run up credit limits to monkey swing between entities.

I trust you though in that its' worked for you but the average person can't do that

the average person can do it. My cars are old. Over a decade old. Took my car to service the other day and the manager gave me a brand new SUV to drive for 1 month so he could get me in the door. I returned the car on a weekend after hours ::lolbron:

He called me and I told him my cars run fine and still looks clean so no need to change that now. I lived very modestly so I could make sure I don't increase my debt. It's doable once you stop living for clout and for people.

Meanwhile one of my neighbors go on 2 trips a year while he can barely keep up his mortgage premium and own a brand new BMW 750 :yeshrug:

The average person gets sucked into the magazine life too easily.

Whoever described maintaining great credit as a tightrope act is dead on.

I used to obsess over it almost to the point where I would get panic attacks if things went left. Then when they came up with apps like Credit Karma it actually made it worse. I’m already OCD so I would check the shyt every day even though it only updates every 7 days. If any collection or inquiry was added I would freak out.

I know credit is important and the life line to the American Dream but that’s no way to live. The constant pressure. It’s all a man made game where they can change the rules at any time..

Sometimes you take losses but can bounce back. It’s never as bad or great as you think it is..There are things way more important in life such as your health and happiness.
