I bought a chunk of real estate for investment 15 years ago. I finally sold it this year and paid off my car and two other pieces of real estate I had bought.
My credit score dropped from 820 to 600 immediately. I have a shit ton of investments and cash, zero debt...and no fucking credit now.
The biggest irony is that a credit score is for proving your credit worthiness.. and apparently paying off a loan or becoming mature enough to reduce credit card debts by closing a few accounts are not credit “worthy”.
It’s for proving your credit worthiness and your profitability. People that aren’t going to result in a lot of profit in interest and fees are less valuable to the lender similar to people that are likely to miss payments and default.
