We should boost our credit score and increase spending money. We should also meet our financial goals and contribute more to our retirement accounts. We should save our self from debt collector harassment and get approved for a mortgage and sleep properly at night.

The interest rates on all three were raised in the beginning of 2009, then again in the fall of 2009. I don't care because I pay it off every month. BUT... I'm just waiting for Citi to introduce a monthly or annual fee for the card. When that happens, they get cancelled.For those of you buying in to the Dave Ramsey schtick, beware. Your FICO score is used in many ways, not just to calculate a mortgage interest rate. It also affects insurance rates and is often checked by potential employers. While I'm at a point in my life where I don't need to be concerned about any of this, other than the insurance rates, if I were in my 20s or 30s, I'd be vigilant about my FICO score.
