Cash is a cushion, debt is a sword.

Loves me some leverage.

250K in "debt" between mortages and student loans. At least the car's all mine.

Im at 87k

Compared to some of you I'm feeling pretty good with only 20K.

It feels a little bit scary to admit that I am in the top decile of debt so far . . . at least I are eddykated.

Thank you for the quotes. If you lose something (house, car) by not making payments, it's a secured loan. Technically, that's not debt.

My total: 4.6K, 3K is from what I owed uncle Sam this year + paying out for next year

I was brought up to spend what I had and nothing more. Obviously I was the only one.

i've never felt so liberated from debt that after reading this thread. and when i wasn't in debt.



so yeah...............michael jackson

The only reason I owe that £200 is because I got sacked about two weeks earlier than I thought I would!

Darrin i'm just playing with you. good for you for keeping your debt down. good luck with the BJs

10k credit card
10k Student Loan
about to be 200k mortgage

How are those new higher ed fees working out for you, Darrin? Did the Scots escape? All the big unsecured numbers here are tuition loans, at a guess.

about $20K in Credit Card Debt
no fun.

shiv,
that's a great kemp pic. he's definitely on something there.

for easy money, scour up all the medazzaland cds you can find. if you can find a thousand, that's a quick $25,000!!!

$5k in school loans (and probably will add up more until i finish)
$2k in credit cards (the devil's spawn)
$2-3k in various other debts

blah.

I didn't have any until law school. I figured I'd just dive in to the tune of (roughly) $180 grand.

Oh my god.

About $4k in student loans, and about $2k credit card (but only because I just bought a new bed and mattress- that stuff gets expensive if you want something that is good and will last...) Will hopefully have most of the credit card debt paid off within the year.

And, oops... speaking of debt... I haven't paid my rent yet. Good thing I have a cool landlord.

roughly 14k in student loans, but at a really low interest rate over ten years, so it's not so bad.

i was so happy when i started working full time and paid off my credit card debt. now i pay it off every month.

Just topped $300 K in student loans. Will work for about $8/hour for the next four years, after which I should pay it off in about 8-10 years.

Oh yeah, and the house, cars and occasional credit card.

What a fucking mess.

Heh heh, B-school was a bargain at $85.
