Lets see

TA = $0
F150 =$13,000
Honda(fiancee's car) = $8,000
House = $130,000
Credit Cards = paid infull each month

Total= $151,000 debt

On the plus side I have $200K+ in investements so hopefully I can retire in my fifties.(29 now).

$0 baby. I made the hard decision to stay at home till I get married, next May, so Ive been saving every cent that rolls in! The only debt I really have is a shitty rear end that is going on the TA, . If I can offer any advice to the younger guys on here, when you graduate from college and if you get a job around the area where you are from, live at home for a few years, who cares if you think it sucks, you save so much money. Best move I ever made.

Paid in full the day I got it.I had a large sum saved for an LS1 WS6 then I came across my SMG 98 for less then half of what I was gonna pay on the bird.
My girlfriend hates it(not really shes very cool and loves all the car stuff),what I mean is
im saving for "go-fast" parts and she doesnt get as many nights where we go out.
Its like im broke when im saving

none, i pay cash for everything and never use my credit cards. I have just enough on them to keep my revolving/unsecured credit looking good. About 30% of the balance.

I refuse to pay interest on anything except for a car or house... and even a car I would rather just pay cash!
