If you’re 17 1/2 yo to 19y.o., you should be running towards giving those #ExpTransFax bastards your social security # via paper submission twitter.com/robhof/status/…

Goal: associate 24 on-time payments as a 17 1/2 yo to 19y.o. directly correlated to your social security number.

The offline identity infrastructure, reliant on magic words and numbers freely handed out to strangers, is a dinosaur. twitter.com/abc/status/905…

Naval Ravikant is correct. But as per American credit laws, bending over for Equifax is not a choice, it’s a required medicine. Pick your poison.

Equifax: you missed a cc payment 3 yrs ago. How irresponsible. Good luck buying a home Also, Equifax: Your SSN’s were hacked. Shit happens |
What I mean by pick-your-poison is this: If you ever want to own a home, your FICO credit score must be high. Your credit score cannot be high unless #ExpTransFax is in possession of your social security number [remember Experian, TransUnion, Equifax is #ExpTransFax]. #ExpTransFax collects whether you paid Bank of America visa on-time. #ExpTransFax does this every month.
