Episode Title: Is an 800 Credit Score Really Worth It?

Is hitting that elusive 800 credit score really the ultimate financial flex? Or are you grinding for digits that don’t even make a difference once you’re already in the “excellent” club?

In this episode of My Credit Sucks Podcast, we’re breaking down the hype vs. reality of having an 800+ credit score. You’ll learn:

  • What actually changes once you hit 800
  • What doesn’t matter as much as you think
  • Why 760 might already be “good enough”
  • And what to focus on instead of obsessing over every single point

Whether you’re just starting your credit journey or hovering in the high 700s wondering if it’s worth pushing further, this episode will help you make smarter moves—without the stress.

💳 No fluff. Just real talk, helpful tips, and the truth about what really builds financial power.

Listen now and find out if 800 is worth the hustle—or just a number with a good PR team.
