you are correct. I’d probably be plus, but a lot less since closing costs and selling the house costs would eat a good chunk.

No school loans. Living at home during college for 4 years was probably my smartest financial decision of my life.

I owe a couple hundo on my credit card, but that get’s paid every month in full.  
Car is worth more than I owe.

- worth for me as I stand.
- worth if I sell all my toys, etc.

$0 in CC debt, $0 in car loans, no other loans, no mortgage, no $ owed to parents, +/- $10K in student loans, 4 cheap cars paid for. But I tend to collect shit so if I sold off my vast parts collection, plus all of the other shit I’ve collected over 23 years, I’d be doing all right. I just lack time to eBay it all.

Why don’t we shorten the poll and make it

“I think I have more money than you so I’ll list all the shit I own”  
vs.  
“I know I don’t have more money than you”

We can let people :rolljerk: each other faster that way.
