$0 on the SS (paid off 2 years early)
$5k on a daily driver (Grand Am GT)
$35k on student loans
$10k on Disney timeshare

writing checks to the above loans each month.......PRICELESS!

I got a nice nestegg in the bank which would pay off 75% of the above, but, i'm saving that for when my fiance and I buy our first house. Hey, being in debt is the american way now, right?

I'm not in debt, but at the end of this week I will have something to the effect of $15 in my checking account.

18 and just graduated. All the grad money is in the form of car parts now, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am not that bad off.

I owe:
110k on the house.
40k on the shop.
22k on my shop car.
25k on the shop truck.
12k on the wifes Tahoe.
4k on our time share.
3k on student loans.

Seems like alot most of the time. We both make good $$$. I pull in a good living working Induatrial Maintnenance. The wife makes killer money at the Salon. The shop Pays for itself and then some.

Debt is part of life. At least it part of my life until the family farm sells. Then everything is gonna get paid off.

hmm, i payed 13,900 for the car, i've made i think 10 payments on it. i still have about 3 and a half years left to pay for it. so far i've put about 800 dollars into the car. i'm looking to get rims/tires, hood, and a few more appearance mod's. but i try to pay for everything in cash. i'm only 18 tho, so credit cards isn't going to happen altho i'm pretty responsible. but i think i'm doing pretty good so far...
