I always assumed credit scores were an integral and historic part of the American financial system.

They were not, they are very recent,most of your parents didn’t have credit scores growing up, and as you can probably tell or at least intuit, it’s mostly just a b******* scheme for those with capital to accrue more capital by invading your privacy.

    Oh interesting. A friend is a financial advisor and had told me that he often just pays his card immediately after making a purchase. That must be why.

      I pay mine every Thursday so it clears Friday and I’m ready for the weekend.
