The Credit Score Scam
It’s understandable to attach scores or track metrics. We want important information diluted to sizable nuggets.
Though we tend to put more weight on the score than the information represented by that score.
Your credit score doesn’t factor your savings account. Or your financial sacrifices. Those years you pinched and scraped by to get something you wanted.
Your social media Karma score doesn’t measure the importance of private virtual connections.
Your website analytics shows how many visitors your website had, not how hard you worked for each one.
The Sunday Night Football score shows only the end result; not the 90 minute battle or weeks of physical preparation.
Gamification is fine. Letting it define you in a made up number that belittles you is not.
