Paying cash for all purchases.

FICO scores are based on credit activity (payment history, amounts owed/credit utilization, length of credit history, new credit, and credit mix). Using credit cards and taking out a mortgage affect those factors; paying with cash does not directly affect your FICO score (though relying only on cash can leave you with little or no credit history, which can mean no score).
