I do not know or care what my credit score is. My father taught me at a young age "if you don't have the money-you don't need it." I'm only 40 and I have my house and 2 cars paid off. Now, I am not a slave to a paycheck. I can spend my time being a good mom, and a good servant. I am so disheartened at what our media has done to our society! Turn on the TV, you see perfect homes, faces, bodies, etc. Do you see anybody work? None of it is realistic. My husband is in construction. He has built beautiful homes. He has gone back 2-4 years later, these homes have sheets on the windows and no furniture. They can't afford anything but the house payment. I would rather have affordable 4 walls (thats what they are) and be able to decorate, entertain, still have a life. It is a disjustice what we are doing to-or teaching-our next generation. My parents are from the depression era and they taught me so many important lessons. Most importantly, how to really care about yourself, your family, your neighbors, and the rest of the world. I believe this all goes further than just money. Our nation has become so shallow! Shallow with sex, money, drugs, all of it. There is a movement toward getting back to basics and what is really important. It is a much happier, more satisfying life. It doesn't matter what others think of you. There is only one judge! It is not me, and it is not you. We shoud start boycotting media sources that show such shallow behaviors. If nobody supported it, it would change. We as consumers have alot of power. Start using it wisely! I 100% agree! I do not know or care what my credit score is.

My wife and I became debt free almost 2 years ago, and I haven't even checked our score since, because we don't do debt anymore. There's probably a lot of people out there who have good FICO scores, but if you really dug into their actual finances, they are on shaky ground. It's time for America to stop worshiping at the altar of the great FICO. If Dave Ramsey can have a credit score of “0″ and be incredibly wealthy and successful, I figure I can too.
