I'm pretty much in the same position. *I haven't had a loan payment in
over 20 years (FICO now 800+) and hopefully won't need one again in this
lifetime. *For those that will need credit, the extra baggage on the
credit report won't help.

The last credit report I read indicated that my score was not as high as it
could be because I didn't have a mortgage.

??????????

I am like you and JohnH now. * Now that I don't need it, I have all kinds of
credit available and I don't use any of it.

But, *I also remember that it took me 10 years to pay off a small balance on
a stupid Hechinger's credit card that I had back in the Navy. *Every penny
counted for many years.

For me it was Sears, and a wife who couldn't control herself.
