Greentexts, memes, everything 4chan.
I know a guy who's a multimillionaire. He came up from nothing and always had the mindset that if you have to finance it, you can't afford it. A few years ago, he wanted to purchase an apartment complex, but was short by something like $500,000. He tried to get a loan, but the bank wouldn't give him one because he had no credit. Instead, he sold two of his supercars to cover the difference and bought the complex.
not much different than china's "social credit" it seems
Every day I thank God I stopped caring about credit scores and started doing stuff with cash or debit.
I was always taught not to get credit cards or loans. My mom, a teacher, always saves up her money and then pays for her cars and houses in full. Not once did I need any kind of credit score or anything. I have cars, a home, cell phones... internet, etc... and no credit for scammers to ruin lol!
There are many benefits to using a credit card, as long as you actually pay the full debt at the end of the month
