I always assumed credit scores were an integral and historic part of the American financial system.

They were not, they are very recent,most of your parents didn’t have credit scores growing up, and as you can probably tell or at least intuit, it’s mostly just a b******* scheme for those with capital to accrue more capital by invading your privacy.

    Where did you work? What kind of Boomer clients did you serve?

    I worked fast food in '03, it was closer to 50/50.

      I worked retail in 2007 and almost never got anything but cash payments.

      And yes, most customers were boomer age.
