Shit, I’ve had a credit score of 750 or more for years, and yet I can never get approved for any loans other than small, short-term ones like from a cash checking service to get an advance on a paycheck.

I was in a similar boat for the first few years out of college. Like, totally fine score, couldn’t even get a PayPal credit for under $1000 for some reason.

When I met my wife and we secured a credit union mortgage, everyone just started throwing credit at me. My score is sky high, so every account keeps raising my limit, which raises my score, etc. it’s all a bunch of bullshit.

  The only crazy thing I noticed after getting married was how people speak to me when I wear the ring vs when I don’t.
  
  I still wear the ring even tho I am no longer married just because people are often friendlier when they see it.

    What’s with the wedding ring?
    
    Helps strangers think I’m trustworthy.
