I find it humorous that a certain subsection of America is deathly afraid of the implementation of a Chinese style Social Credit Score, because they’re already halfway there. The financial score, which determines not only your access to credit, but also entitles you to various perks, such as flight upgrades and basic shelter. For context, when Ky and I were first apartment hunting, it was unclear whether confiding that we had no credit scores was as shocking as telling the leasing agents that we were domestic terrorists.
For the last 7 months, I have been scrounging around with a credit card limited to $200. For comparison, at least one reader of this blog has a 100k limit, and no, it isn’t the Cashew King.
Well, lo and behold, today I finally had my financial Bar Mitzvah, and was promoted to the big(ger) leagues, by cracking into (very) low 4 figures.
Onwards and upwards!
P.S. Just wanted to announce that my sister Olivia also got the puzzle correct, but she monged out for too long while on the tram to work, and thus didn’t answer in time. Well done Liv!
