CC debt pissing contest

[quote=“Mrs. Karus,post:7,topic:39900"”]

$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.

:word: its a great feeling having 0 debt

Lol Mike… my mom pays my credit cards IN FULL, every single month… not recently…but when I lived at home…and my bike loan…only payment i made on it was $6000.00 in FULL to pay it off. Get your facts straight doll.

0 debt :slight_smile:

edit: it wasnt dad - mom :slight_smile:

I’ve thought about adding up all of my and wifey’s non-revolving debt… I start doing it and quickly remember that ignorance is bliss.

Had close to 10K…but that is all gone now…such a relief…sooooo much weight off my shoulders

I pay the cc balance off every month, and I get 1% cash back for using it. I put almost everything I buy on it, I only pay cash at bars and such.

ok then i guess technically youre right youve always been debt free :slight_smile:

not me, i always paid in full on any balance i made for the longest time, but over the past year ive had to pay interest and finance charges on shit for the first time. ah well, atleast im not like a friend of mine who is 15k in the hole and he doesnt make SHIT. hes gonna be paying that shit off for like, years.

yea, i’ve started carrying about a 1500 balance since the wedding & home purchase. now that everything is calming down I can get rid of it

The good news is that my 401k’s been growing at >23% this year. :giggity:

20k

Nice. :clap: Mine is at i think 16 or 17%. Kind of funny i didnt pay attention to it for the longest time since i redid it, and its getting to be a pretty decent amount for my age :tup:

Internationals?

I was up to about $8k right when I got out of college. It was worth it, I had a lot of fun, went on great vacations, and partied my ass off. I am out of CC debt now.

50% international 50% high end cap… all risky

mine is 50% int, 50% company stock. normally id never ever put it in company stock, but for the short term i know with 100% certainty its a great move. and ive been proved right so far. soon it will get shuffled again though.

I’m in several international funds in my 401k at Fidelity.

my 403b doesn’t offer as much international, but they are still pretty profitable :slight_smile:

Ah word, interesting. I’m young enough to risk it all :tup: although… no matching is totally for the fucking lose.

this is a total super noob question… but since my company uses principal… i’m using principal. is it possible for me to change companies?

yea, the wife’s matches 15% so i stopped putting in mine and maxed out hers

also all international this year, everything else tanked… mine which still has money in it is only like 10%, 75% international and 25% other random BS

Mostly because Praxair’s stock started at $60 this year. Closed yesterday over $87. :pimp:

Keep in mind that I don’t really know what I’m doing, just getting lucky:
