To offer a personal example of what you are saying, I have tried using this approach to self improvement before. I did not like myself and wanted to improve just about every facet of my personality.

I totally agree about time as a factor. In fact, a lot of people don't seem to realize that credit scores aren't something you have, they're something you work for and earn. Understanding how they work is invaluable when you need to make decisions that will impact them. It doesn't change overnight. Everything you…

I've always considered an increased credit line or "too many" accounts as an investment in my future credit score. While the short term hard pull looks bad, if you aren't making any financing purchases within 6 months, the net gain is worth the temporary hit.

Every time I look back at the picture, I notice a new detail that makes this moment even more precious. The handkerchief over the lens. The correct finger placement despite muscle memory forgetting to tip her off. The fear that she's stabbing her other eye out. The close-up on her eye. The fact that this…

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but the two frame gif really does make Goodell seem more disgusted than a single frame png would.
