GJDM, you can get whatever you want with that score.

Thats what being young and dumb does to you. You can either learn from it, or be old a dumb. Working in casinos ive seen many degens lose their paycheck at the tables.

I want this feel, but with student debt. The tax subsidized rate of interest is so low that it's not a priority, but will be great once all of my cash flow is finally mine

Same here OP. A year ago was $18K in credit card debt. And credit score was 740

Since then have made some changes in career and make more money, but instead of spending more I used it to pay it all off. First time in my adult life with a $0 balance on credit card and score is now 795 just from paying that one thing off. Feels good man

Congrats OP and everyone else who is no longer making stupid financial mistakes, lol

Never been in credit card debt before. I pay my bills in full at the end of every month.

Brutal but true.

Hope you got your chit together for good OP, because things could have been a lot worse.

I've never had a credit card. Closest I have is a debit card with visa debit or some chit on it.
I pay everything in cash.
