If you don't want to spend the rest of your living month to month this is the best advice you will ever find.
I have not had a credit card in at least 5 years. It is silly to maintain a bunch of credit crds to keep a high FICO score if your long term goal is to be financially healthy and independent. Quote:

The ultimate goal is to have a fico score of zero because that means you don't need to borrow money. |

I get the FICO thing but it should also go by the Debt to credit ratio thing The system is flawed and penalizes disciplined savers |

It only Penalizes you if you need to borrow money - from what you say it seems like you don't need to borrow any. I don't understand why you are obsessed with your FICO score. You can usually get a substantial discount no matter what you're buying if you take your cash out of your wallet ask for a discount or tell them you're going to walk - watch their mouth drool |

credit is a tool, just like a rifle or a tractor.... you can do a lot with tools, or you can roll your self over on your riding lawn mower if you are a moron just be wise and use your tools properly.. you never know when you may need credit...it sure is handy....when you need it keep your rifle oiled up....ready for battle

Some people just may not have a few hundred thousand in cash to pay for a home. Credit can come in handy.

Go take out some loans and pay them off within a year. My credit score is in the 800s.
I have zero CC debt, but i will take out loans for stuff like furniture from time to time even though i dont have to.
