    So many think you need credit score to be wealthy when in fact its completely opposite... Yeah you might not have much debt with a score and want to keep your buying options open etc etc but its a lot of hoops that Are unnecessary just to follow the "worlds standards"

    Pretty sure if you've ever had a loan or credit, it sticks on your credit report for 10 years, though some bad stuff drops off after 7. Not sure where he gets the idea it just disappears in a year if you stop using credit and shut all of your accounts. Have never heard of this as a thing.

    I checked my score this evening. 840 with a current total balance of around $500. I use my cards to purchase gasoline, shopping at the local food store, and other useful monthly expenses. But I also pay off the balances in full each month.

      This is the right way to do it. If you are responsible and have self control theres no reason not to use credit cards.
      If you don't have self control credit cards were never the cause they were a symptom.

    I understand where Dave comes from, most of the people calling to this show have ridiculous debts. At my house we have credit cards and no balances, good credit score has helped me move into a house faster. As an imigrant in the US I see the credit score is a way for companies to see how responsible you are and I don't have time to be looking for manual underwriting and having to live in specific places where they don't check your score

      TechYK The problem with it is of course the only way you create a score IS BY GETTING INTO DEBT. Thats all a credit score tracks, debt repayment. The reason Ramsey tells you not to worry about it is because YOU SHOULDNT BE GETTING INTO DEBT FOR ANYTHING in a perfect world following the steps. Your credit cards are a ticking time bomb.

    • @edgaruriarte
      @edgaruriarte Před 5 lety

      As far as my experience with hotels they never check my credit score to get a room. And car rentals.. How many times do you rent a car a year? In those rare occasions use uber or lyft. It'll probably be cheaper too.

    • @rosen380
      @rosen380 Před 5 lety +3

      I think the OP meant that when you go to a hotel, they expect to get a credit card on file on check-in. If you have a zero credit score it follows that you have zero credit cards as well.
      Some/most/all hotels will take a debit card and put a hold on some funds... like $50 or so per night. So if you are staying seven nights, and even if you've already pre-paid the room, you'll probably have ~$350 on hold.
      Not a big deal if you have plenty of $$$ in your account and I guess it would be a fair argument that if this amount is a problem, you probably can't afford to go on this trip anyways.
      --
      Rental car-- mostly the same deal, as you should be able to use a debit card, but I'd argue that Uber/Lyft in most cases people rent a car isn't "probably" cheaper.
      At least in my personal experience, the two times we rented a car it was because we were 5-12 hours from home by plane and didn't have our cars and anything but renting would have been horribly impractical.
      San Francisco-
      1) Airport to hotel in SF
      2) hotel to another hotel in Napa
      3) To and from wedding related events in Napa
      4) hotel to a different SF hotel
      5) hotel to airport
      ... and that plus some sight-seeing [Aquarium of the Bay, Lombard St, Exploratorium, Pier 39, Muir Woods and the Golden Gate bridge] I got voted down on the cable car museum and Alcatraz and I did want to drive down to the Monterey Bay aquarium, settling for the more convenient one.
      In Hawaii we only rented the car for one day for like $40 (plus gas) to get from Aulani to a Manoa Falls hike, about 55 miles round trip.
      When we were in Florida we did a Disney Cruise and also hit Cape Canaveral before and Disney World after and did that all with shuttles and Uber.

  • @daegumaa
    @daegumaa Před 5 lety +3

    Honestly, I believe no debt is good but people in the comments are talking about how they have credit cards and they use their credit cards wisely...
    Be honest you have your credit card because you can't pay anything on time. That's the only reason why you have it. If you can pay on time why get a credit card? You don't really need one because that's too much stress. If you have to get one to pay your bills then why not use your money and pay bills?
    It just sounds stupid to have a credit card to pay anything. If you don't have the money don't spend it.

    It's not the interest is the problem with credit cards but the card triggers you to spend when you do not want to spend or overspend with these reward points, cashback, coupons, etc. The credit card companies know alot people pay off their cards but to make money off the credit card holders they throw in these incentives to make you spend more or spend unnecessarily. Also if the credit score is so good why when a buy my car cash at the dealer they get upset about it? It seems credit makes everybody money except the consumer. It's a scam.

Easy to do and a win/win situation for me. Actually STRIVING a zero is good for what? If you don't need credit for anything, tis kinda pointless isn't it?

      if you only use the cards on things you buy anyway (gas, groceries, bills) and pay off the balance every month you collect points and/or cash back bonuses. I can get free cruises with one card and the other card I get cash back and I just save it up until I can cash it in when it will cover a month's worth of groceries and gas.

      The only thing a credit score measures is your interaction with debt. It is not a measure of wealth. One can have a "perfect" credit score but have zero or negative net worth. Your most powerful wealth building tool is your income and when you give it away in interest to the bank or by overspending you erode your wealth potential.
