It's like taking out a mortage today, and paying it in full tomorrow - the bank would not have made any money from giving you the loan.

Anyway, like you said, if you're paying off in full each month, you'll have no problems getting a loan for a car or house anyway. I'm like you, I pay off my credit in full each month because I can't stand knowing I owe money on something. I learned that this isn't the "best" way to do things in the eyes of the credit system, even though I believe it's the best way to live, personally.
i was in shock when i checked my credit the other month - I was sure i'd have a higher rating. i checked my file and it goes back 7 years with equifaxand not one late payment on anything and tons of things paid off in it's history for $10s of thousands of dollars.

like i said - got a $1000+ car lease no problem the other day and my bank talks to me regurally and has told me I can have piles more money if i want it so I guess it's really not an issue to me. Just shocking to see it soo low is all.
