One of the top questions I get when I'm dating is, what's your credit score? I remember the first time a young lady asked me that question, Louis. And I told her the truth. That's like a 530, because I had just finished paying off all of my debt. So, you know when you pay off all your debt, they penalize you for that. Really? Yes. Your credit score drops. She was turned completely off the whole night. I saw how the move shifted because of my credit score. But the credit score doesn't mean that I'm successful with money. It simply means I'm good at paying back the people who I borrowed from, because I can have a 800 credit score and not have $800 inside my savings account. And so when I hear ladies say that, I'll be honest with you, man, it is somewhat of a turn off for me. But I also understand the lack of education behind that question. And so what I tend to do now is say, you know what? My credit score is good because I have real estate, and that's the only thing that's on there, and it's being paid for. So I am in an 800 bracket.
