I’ve never cared about my credit score. I think for a lot of people they obsess too much about it. In my case the score went from 800 to 750. At least according to my credit card. If you are able to pay bills on time and otherwise be responsible credit score doesn’t need to be a focus of concern.


I'm extremely surprised that defaulting on a major loan had that little impact on your credit score!


If the guy can lose his home and still pay cash to buy a condo, I'm guessing he's got a reasonable amount of savings.

Credit score doesn't matter if you don't need credit.


I agree, but it doesn't affect my surprise.
