we dont have any CC debt or studen loans or anything, actually have a ton of money in the bank
that's cool
that is good you have $$$$ in the bank - but unfortunately if I didnt have student loans I wouldnt have been able to go to college...and people CAn have CC debt AND $$$ in the bank - aka 0% cards.
I do not think she was saying it is bad to have cc debt, she was just saying she did not have any....why so defensive?
I think it was more the way it was worded. No one asked how much money anyone had in the bank.
IMO it's a little tacky to supply that kind of info.
gotcha....

You didn't offend me!  I didn't think you were trying to brag or be obnoxious.
Heck, I have student loans and a car loan AND lots of money in the bank / investments... but those investments are earning more interest than I'm paying on this debt. Debt + having plenty of money aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

No offense taken whatsoever....it just wasn't necessary to tell people that you have "a ton of money in the bank".
That's like someone aksing what shoe size you wear and you saying you own 50 pairs of Manolos. While it may be true, that wasn't the question.
It CAN be taken as you being a showoff.

More CC debt than we want but we'll pay it off. It will just take longer now with baby expenses.

Honestly who cares if I am showing off. The same thing can be said for the opposite side, all i read on LIW and LIFE is how no one has money or money problems, or people crying poverty, or how hard it is to afford a house and bills.

ZERO. We have no debt at all. Of course we have a mortgage and 1 year left on my school loans, but that's it. We are debt free.

you're only allowed to say that you have money in the bank if people ask you that question specificly. otherwise, its just flashy and snobby, but don't be too modest either, because then it just seems homely or self-rightgeous. either way, you're only allowed to answer the specific question that is asked of you. Everyone knows that!

Re: Credit Card Debt - How Much Are You In?
we have some debt that we pay off regularly and I wear I size 7.5 & I've never owned manolos
honestly though I always think these polls are bogus, they way its so spread all or nothing. I just don't buy it. Articles like this confirm there is ALOT of debt out there. The average american family has $9,000 in CC debt.

Re: Credit Card Debt - How Much Are You In?
We paid off the credit cards and I literally cut each one of them up. I now carry my debit card and my Corporate Amex card, which im not supposed to put any personal expenses on, but could use in an emergency.
After working in the financial services industry, I am just sick at seeing how much money people spend that they dont have, and even worse the banks take advantage of it and charge ridiculous fees and interest. No more for me.

most of our home improvements are on CC - but its zero percent, and will be paid off before interest kicks in. So im actually making $$ on my CC debt and dont consider it bad.
Same here, hopefully it will be paid off by the end of the summer!!!

I never carry balances on cards. DH is in the financial business and sees all too often people's lives getting turned upside down due to credit issues.
