Lots of high income people are in hella credit card debt and lots of low income people are very careful of their credit score because they need every little financial advantage they can get

Impressive, I only paid with credit cards, never missed any payments for years and hovered low 700s the entire time until I was late on one payment and I dropped almost 100 points when I checked 3 months later lmao
