With the impending arrival of our third child coming up we had to go buy a new car yesterday. The way credit scores work is so wild.

we've had seven kids, never bought a new car, never got a loan for a car

There is no way out of this mess. Learn how to fix cars and get a good old one to keep for the next 20 years.
That’s what I do; Fix cars. I have a fleet of four cars and do as much of the maintenance as I can. I fear there will be a fifth added before too long. We have a large family and everybody wants to drive.

If I remember correctly, my credit was dinged because I DIDNT have enough credit cards open. Zero logic.

The entity that regulates the credit bureaus is $37T in debt… talk about hypocrisy
Yeah it's insane. One of my friends from work, who's mom is pretty well off (I don't know what she did but her late husband was a surgeon) - she had no debt, house fully paid off, etc. My friend had to co-sign on her cell phone contract application.
In the same situation and just got a minivan. Well worth the sats

Elon really needs to make a larger SUV
Knowing you could easily pay for your car by simply pealing off a little BTC, but willing to go through the paperwork hassle so you can preserve your BTC and pay in devaluing garbage currency. This is the way!

Replace “credit” with “slave" and everything will make sense.
