How much debt are you in?

vishenda · #1 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006, 09:15 AM

I'm £1800... And I'm worried about it....Not going to commit suicide yet though....I chopped my credit card up!

'Bout you, how much are you in?

Way, way too much. Embarrassingly too much. One day I might be able to tell others.

counting what we owe on the house and car? 100k.

House mortgage only, but we've set aside the money to pay it off and choose to keep it in higher paying investments instead.

Mortgage paid. Cars bought and paid for in toto! $4292 Dollars in wife's CC which is going to be paid in full this next coming billing cycle! I have to make up quite a bit of money for daughters college fund! ( Still miffed at wife over that one! )

Need to replenish my EF after CC is paid off. Must save up for car for family in couple of years. Then I must live simply and sock away as much as is humanly possible!

As of yesterday, zero. I paid all my CC's off, I did the debt snowball all year. DH and I drive old, paid for cars, and we rent.

I owe about 24K on a piece of property. No credit card debt except what I pay off monthly. I do have a car payment too!(but I am actively working on a car account)

$0 but then we don't have a mortgage yet.... all our cars are free and clear and we don't have any student loans (unless we go back to school, which we might)...

$80,471.96 That includes the mortgage, if that makes it any better.

ZERO! but again I don't have a mortgage. I have all used and paid for cars. I never buy things I can't afford to pay for in full.

tinapbeana · #15 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006, 06:30 PM

i used to have a used and paid for car *sniff* but then it started dying, and having just bought the house, well... hey, at least i can say it's the first car i've ever financed, plus i got them to accept my clunker as a trade sight-unseen!

poundwise · #16 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006, 07:02 PM

A lot. But less than before.

pearlieq · #17 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006, 08:57 PM

250k. Mercifully, that's a mortgage and student loans at low fixed rates.

ChimbleySweep · #18 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006, 10:32 PM

175k. Most of that is my mortgage. I'm working on the things that aren't.

JBinKC · #19 (**permalink**) 11-24-2006, 03:47 AM

Zero, other than what is owed next month in credit cards, monthly bills and property taxes.

sakigt · #20 (**permalink**) 11-24-2006, 05:11 AM

About 8k, not including my mortgage. Some is student loans and the rest is owed to Dad at 0%.
