CC debt pissing contest

i had a bunch, and paid it all off… bought a house and put the bathroom, and some of my kitchen on a card, but its getting paid off this month (maybe next, it depends on how much i spend on christmas gifts).

anywho, while paying down my debt i was talking with some other people, and i am amazed at how much some people have on plastic. so it made me curious, and i did some searching. it would seem the average american is sporting some serious debt.

so, how much cc debt do you have?

I was down 12k at one point all credit card.

Now I am at Zero and have limited myself to a 1k card which I pay in full everything month.

i only have a debit card. my buddy from home is in college, and carries about 4g’s on his card at all times. I bet thats nothing compared to most people, but he is also a full-time student.

I have about 1200 on my CCs :shrug:

I had close to 10k once. Worst feeling ever. Seriously being that financially fucked up made me a different person, all stressed and angry all the time. Never again.

Just about nil now.

when i relocated to NJ i was up to about 8k in credit cards.

that’s been gone for a while now :slight_smile:

Now that I’m financially secure, I don’t carry any balance from month to month on my cc’s.

now i focus on maxing out my 401k :stuck_out_tongue:

edit: now its a 403b :wink:

$0.00 never had any debt…never will. I don’t even have school loans. If i don’t have the money to pay for it - I don’t buy it.

3k, should be knocked out in a few weeks. usually i dont buy anythign on my cc unless i have the cash to back it up right away

jon, your avitar is soooooo ghey
