Jesus christ, this number that determines whether we can rent, buy a car, or buy a house is only 30 years old? What the fuck?

    Bad credit score? Get a credit card so you can pay it off and build debt. Want education? Be prepared to take out thousands maybe hundreds of thousands in debt to enter the job market. Here you need a car to get around, better take out a loan to get a good one. And up keep. Etc etc etc.

      All the shit our boomer parents told us was financially irresponsible for years (accumulating debt, multiple credit cards, huge house/car loans) are considered basic for building credit.

      Gee, imagine that. It's like entrapment on a societal level. :jokah:
