How much credit card debt do you have?


Nov 4, 2016, 9:53 AM

Re: Does this mean the balance you carry or how much you have


Nov 4, 2016, 9:56 AM

balance you carry. I just saw a credit card bill with a balance of $22,000. I would be a nut case if that was me. Even if the payment was 400/month

Ok, well then put me down for the non existent balance

we use them, but pay'em off in full every month, so no interest/finance charges.

I don't consider that 'debt'....

It shouldn't be too bad, she hasn't had it for too long. The only thing I've seen are some new boots and a couple of rottweiler statues.

house has been paid off 5 years now.

Benefit of no kids - downside is we have to invest all that extra cash to cover the nursing home.

About 3k. I spent most on booze and cash advances for drugs. The rest, I wasted.

You can do that and profit from it, instead of paying out the ace.

Re: Cash advance


Nov 4, 2016, 10:48 AM

I am not financially savvy, or at least wasn't at one point dating back to college.

My parents are UDP. Anything that college didn't pay for, I paid for.

That number used to be a LOT higher. No student debt, and I was unemployed at one point which resulted in making some pretty dumb short-term decisions.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Yeah man me too. We used to have about 30K in CC debt.

Were totally dumb about it. Not from overspending, we just did horrible job of managing it. Finally grew up/wised up.
