Not about earning credit. It's about earning money.

How do you think banks make money? They borrow it from you and pay you whatever..1-4% interest, depending on whether it's in your checking, savings, CD, etc... Then they loan it back out at a higher rate, or actually buy investments with larger returns.

I'd rather have 35k invested and making me money than a title to a depreciating asset.
