    Credit scores only exist in the US. Everywhere else just compares your income to your debt.

    Edit: apparently there are several other countries with credit scoring systems. The more you know… The US system, at least, is still bullshit designed to stratify economic class not only individually but by gender and with generational impact.

      honestly, this is something I needed to hear. my family has been pretty anti-credit (dad was bad with money) and my own hatred for the system grew once I started working at a retail chain. to know this is just another part of the fucked up system kinda gives me hope I can either escape it or dismantle it
