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

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.

$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)...

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.

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