Do you keep a careful watch on your credit score?

I find the older I get the more I track it. It varies few points, if it backsides I go into strategic mode like *fix this now, dammit!*

My credit card company gives me my score with each statement.

I was amused when my score went down immediately after we paid off our mortgage.

(They actually want us to be in debt and paying interest.)

@Neoerectus Wait... Banking should not be a for profit industry??? Lol. Other than prostitution, I think banking is the original for profit industry.

How could someone loan you money to buy a car or a house if they didn't charge you interest on the loan??

@sarabee1995 Fairly sure the banking shares I bought after the GFC at $27 were bought with profit in mind...good returns around 5% on increasing share values which are now around $125 per share.
