I usually like Dave Ramsey but this is just wrong https://t.co/Y0agw6WFLS
— Kevin Eder (@keder) February 13, 2014A high credit score simply means it's less risky to lend money to you.
— Kevin Eder (@keder) February 13, 2014@keder I'm with Dave. FICO score is tied to managing debt, not really winning with money. My score is down since paying things off.
— Sarah Stevenson (@sarahrstevenson) February 13, 2014@keder his point is that the only way to up your score is to keep accts open and use them and he encourages manual underwriting for mtgs.
— Sarah Stevenson (@sarahrstevenson) February 13, 2014@keder Dave is known for hyperbole. The message of not freaking over your score is a good one though.
— Sarah Stevenson (@sarahrstevenson) February 13, 2014@keder no financial guru is one size fits all. His goal though is to get people's eyes off managing debt and onto debt freedom.
— Sarah Stevenson (@sarahrstevenson) February 13, 2014@keder @sarahrstevenson Another FYI, many companies look at your credit score before hiring. Not having a good score could cost you a job.

— University of Kansas (@KUNews) February 13, 2014.@KUNews, I already contacted the editor-in-chief, & she responded. So did the source. There is still no clarification.@KansanNews @_jgentry
