I pay attention to people who tweet about ‘FICO’ and “credit score”. This is how I met Stevie Ryan.

“You stay chasing Pokemon. I stay chasing money & a good credit score.”
Notice the order of money and good credit. The order matters because money matters more than good credit.

Pokemon is a fad.
High amounts of money infusion and good credit scores are not fads.
An example to expand money having more importance that good credit. Your FICO drops about 20-25 points if you have a FICO of 820 and then no longer have a car loan. But having more money with a FICO of 780 is a good thing.
Let me repeat, having a FICO of 780 with no debt on a car title is a good thing.
