It’s amazing how brain washed, mind controlled & manipulated the common man is. Who’s fault is it really? The common man who many not have any inkling to look beyond his ordinary state of being? Or, the controllers creating a system in which to box him in?
The old chicken and the egg scenario, right?
I held an Open House for a rental property yesterday. The home is in a blue collar+ neighborhood where people care about their homes because it’s the only place in their lives where they have control. Or, that’s my perception. Once I needed the lawn cut at this particular home and saw a neighbor riding on a big tractor type thing cutting his own lawn. I walked over and offered to give him some cash to bring the tractor on over to my lawn and cut away. At first he agreed, but he then came over a little later and said he was afraid I’d sue him if something happened so reneged. Hello?! I immediately told him I felt sorry for him living in such a reality. He probably didn’t understand what the heck it was I meant. Also, when I walk the dog around this neighborhood, people are perched at their windows looking and guarding, it’s really weird.
Contrast that to the affluent neighborhood I live in where people can really give a shit. They have control elsewhere in their lives (except for my white trash next door plumber neighbor), so do not need to guard their properties. The story with Mr. White Trash is a whole other can of worms. And, I know we each create our own realities, so on some level I definitely invited the interaction in. Just to give you a taste – the story has to do with shotguns and squirrels in a wealthy Connecticut town. The two dynamics just don’t co-exist here.
Anyway, back to the Open House. The people coming in were lovely souls overall. But the one thing they had in common was discussing their credit scores when they weren’t asked about them by me, the Realtor in charge. I don’t care about this stuff as I know it’s meaningless. All I care about is cold hard cash and a signed lease. But one couple was actually turned away from a rental because of their score. Another couple was gloating how the guy’s score was a 720. I was sitting there in amazement at how these people truly believe some little number defined who they were.
The way I learned that Credit Scores were meaningless is as follows. I bought my first house (and an expensive one at that) at 23 and continued to amass more and more along the way. I paid every bill on time and was a happy consumer yet my credit score never made it above 700. I started to be told the reason being was because I had too much credit. Uh, what? Someone with all this real estate who pays everything on time should be rewarded, no?
It didn’t make any sense to me and really pissed me off. As my holdings grew and the interest rates I was getting on loans starting to become a problem despite being current on everything, my belief in the system slowly started to unravel. I, and other investors like me, would spend hours on the phone negotiating and talking to the credit bureaus. In retrospect, what a waste of time that all was. Then one day, I don’t know what the straw was that broke the proverbial camel’s back, I simply said no more! I realized a Credit Score was merely a tool being used to control me and try to keep me in a closed in box. And, you just don’t put baby in a corner.
At this point, I have frozen access to my credit files so in effect I have no score, thanks to hearing such a thing was possible on an ION show. Let any motherfucker try and peg me based on some nonsensical score. Nothing I do in life is depended on a silly little number, well maybe my bra size which gets me alot of drinks. 
Oh, sure naysayers will say, “what if you want to buy a house? You need a credit score.” Well, where there’s a will, there is a way. I’d just go find some old dude with a ton of equity and take a loan with him.
I LOVE having no credit score. Simply Love it!
Back to the Open House yet again…isn’t it sad the couple got turned away from a rental based on a credit score? They actually make about $10K/month – she’s under the table at $1K/week as a nanny and he’s got a trade job but is declaring bankruptcy due to a divorce. It’s beyond me they would be rejected. My house was too small for them, but they liked me and asked me to be their Realtor and help them find something else.
As an aside but having to do with numbers used to try and control us. I booked an airline ticket yesterday and was asked for my birth date?! Supposedly this has been in effect since the Fall. What nonsense is that? How could it possibly stop terrorists as they claim is the reason. The only terrorist I believe in is the raccoon that comes out at dusk every night who loves to rile up my dog by walking just far enough away to bother him. Uh, if I were the mastermind behind some plot, don’t you think I’d have all my false documents in alignment with the correct birth date information.
I hate to be suspicious like I accuse my mother of doing all the time, but there’s got to be some hidden reason behind all this nonsense. Just like those new airport scanners that scan much more than what they claim they scan. Yes, Alex Jones, we do live on a Prison Planet, don’t we?
