While you were at parties, I studied the FICO.

Under my tutalage, I have elevated my husband into the ranks of the >800.

I just use credit for everything and hover in the 820s. Unless there's some substantial discount for paying cash I just don't see the point these days.

That being said, my wonderful credit score ain't doing shit for me. It's not like I get some magical super low interest rate. Maybe when things calm down it'll be worth it, but then there will be some other reason not to borrow money.

There are some nice perks to good credit outside of interest. It can qualify you for better housing, better perks on certain rentals, not having to worry about emergency situations killing your savings outright, and let's you take advantage of stuff like cash back and bulk purchasing discounts. An example is staple foods, being able to hit the once-a-year bulk deals on stuff like rice or Lawreys garlic salt can cut the price of those items in half or better (personal examples, but the thought should hold). Ancillary perks, but they do add up.
