So far, YES! We’ve been debt free for slightly over 2 months, and we’ve lost 50 points according to CreditKarma.com.  Am I upset by this?  Not at all, after all the credit score is not really for me, it is for the bank.  And the score is accurately representing that I am not as profitable to banks as I was before.  After all, if they lend me money, they will be taking a big risk that I might pay them off early!
From 760 to 712

    Yes!! Kind of like the life insurance company writing a policy for someone who has zero chance of dying during the term..
