George Kamel: 我认为信用评分是一个精心设计的系统,它诱使人们陷入债务的陷阱,同时让他们相信自己在财务上做得很好。它只反映了你与债务的关系,与你的收入、净资产或银行存款无关。事实上,为了获得并保持高信用评分,你必须保持负债状态,并完美地偿还债务。我发现这很荒谬,因为偿还贷款或关闭信用卡账户实际上会降低你的分数。我认为,如果你的信用评分高于你的银行存款,你就走错了方向。我建议大家摆脱债务,不再需要信用评分,从而掌控自己的收入,更快地积累财富。我亲身经历了摆脱债务后的财务自由,并鼓励大家也这样做。摆脱信用评分后,虽然在某些情况下可能需要付出更多努力,但从长远来看,它比终生欠债要好得多。 George Kamel: 我想强调的是,没有信用评分和低信用评分是不同的。没有信用评分意味着你避免了债务或已经摆脱了债务,而低信用评分意味着你可能犯了一些财务错误。如果你有较低的信用评分,不要担心试图提高它。解决信用评分的终极方法是通过保持当前的支付并摆脱债务来完全摆脱它。有了目的性和良好的财务状况,你可以做所有你认为没有那个三位数验证码就无法做到的事情。当然,这需要更多的努力。但这比余生欠别人的钱,玩像卡坦岛拓荒者这样愚蠢的、毫无意义的游戏要好得多。
