    For 25 years I’ve only carried a debt on my credit card one time, and that was for a few months under special circumstances. I have a top credit score.

    It’s a stupid game, but it’s easy to play.

      Why do Americans think you need to carry a debt to build credit? That is the opposite.

      I put EVERYTHING on credit card, and pay everything off on time. Never missed a payment. My credit score was the highest it can be by the time I turned 21. I’ve never paid a penny in fees or interest.
