How Much Debt Do You Have?

Post by Lon »

We can be discrete and private by simply posting what percentage of your annual income is debt. If you are buying a home for example you might have 300%. If you rent and have just credit card debt etc. it could be 30%.

How Much Debt Do You Have?

Post by spot »

What puzzles me is that people strive to increase the amount they may have lent to them. That seems utter madness but it does appear to be common.
Nullius in verba ... ☎||||||||||| ... To Fate I sue, of other means bereft, the only refuge for the wretched left.
When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.

It is madness but some seem to delight in the amount they are able to borrow.

We're Debt-Free!!

House and cars completely paid-for, Credit card paid off every month. I owe it all to my beloved. I don't think either of us could exercise such fiscal discipline alone, but together we are able to live quite well.

Congrats Accountable---I would expect this from older folks and not your age group. You are truly unique in this day and age. BTW--I'm just assuming that you have not reached Senior Cit status.

He's a babe in arms, Lon.

You can put me down for 0% too.
