Participant[quote=UCGal]paramount – not sure what I did to piss you off.
Does it really bother you that I spend less than I earn? Wow.[/quote]
No, it’s your self-righteous attitude about it that pisses me off, and some others on here as well.
And just for the record, I have great credit, I am fortunate to still have a good paying job…but I don’t use those facts to beat others down who don’t.

ParticipantHmmm, 15 years ago, our daycare provider had an insurance company wiggle out of paying for a pre-approved surgery. They were forced to file for bankruptcy with over 100K in medical bills.
I think personally, this is basically a punitive thing designed by our corporate overlords to make sure we stay on track.
If an employee has a history of theft, that kind of information WOULD be valuable to a potential employer.
I just hate the idea that if something goes badly wrong in life you can be excommunicated from society, work and life! Reeks of 1984!

Yes, there will be the oddballs who pay cash and don’t use credit and thus have a low credit score that doesn’t reflect their financial acumen but seriously, what percentage of people fall into that category? I’d estimate well under 1%.

More people than you think. I have a non-existent credit score.. someone I know has a very good credit score, but is living paycheck to paycheck. I have way more than 1 years worth of salary saved up. This person, of course, doesn’t.
