Yeah.

I'll also say I've had friends describe relationships like this that they were in for a decent amount of time. And as soon as they were moved on and they found their person, they look back on this like,

And so I just, I've known people to describe this and then see them on the other side and they're like, oh, wow. Yeah.

So I'm Sarah. I'm a German finance journalist and Wall Street correspondent. And I moved to the U.S. from Germany in 2021. And when I moved to the U.S., I had conversations where people would tell me, oh, no, you need a credit card here in America. And I'm like, no, I'm fine. And they're like, no, no, no, it doesn't matter. You just need one to build a credit score.

And I'm like, well, but like if I don't if I don't take on debt, like what could be wrong with my credit score? You know, like why would I need that?

So I'd say my first real credit card I got just when I moved to the US. So I went to my bank. They actually approved me for a card with like a thousand dollar limit on it, which I had to use for, I don't know, six, eight months. Then I could get a second. That was like a whole process. And this entire time I'm thinking like, why am I even doing this?

I'm causing problems in my life that I never asked for. I'm constantly anxious looking into this. I didn't understand much of it as a person coming from a financial background. I've never had the conversation in Germany of people telling me like, oh, you need to take on debt and pay it off if you want to get a house loan at some point.
