None. We pay it off every month.



Same for us.

I can't stand debts. We have the house mortgage and cars. That's enough for us. We live with the money we have.

Zero now, but that's a long time coming.

At one point we were over $30000 in CC Debt.

8-10 years ago we were easily 30K in debt.

Now, less than 2K, we have worked very very hard to get it down. But sadly, with costs going up those bills are getting harder and harder to pay in full every monthChat Icon

WE have about 15K in debt right now. I don't think it makes us irresponsible or that we are "drowning." Life happens and we have to use the credit cards more often then we like sometimes. But we make big payments when we can, and pay more then the minimum every month.

by the end of the yr, we should be debt free. we don't use our cards anymore. anytime we want something we use the atm card that could be used as a credit card

We're finally pretty much cc debt free (what we do put on gets paid off monthly). However, at this time last year we had about $25k in cc debt that we worked our butts off to pay. Don't EVER want to be in that boat agan!!

None for us, though I did have a little a few years back. I pay my credit card in full each month. I also only have one major CC and one Debit card. I only use one store card (MACYS) when there is a a sale.

We only have $1k in cc debt - on a 0% store card from the purchase of our bed. We only run a cc balance if we have 0%.

Same here. We already have enough debt with the mortgage and student loans, I don't want to add any more.

Re: Spinoff to credit or debit post: How much credit card debt do you have? w/poll

when i got married i had $0 in cc debt.

dh had "fibbed" to me about how much he had.

that, the last minute wedding problems, buying a house, and my uncle getting sick (almost dying) have increased our joint bebt.

i'm not happy about it, but i'm not exactly ashamed to say that we have $15-$20k of consumer debt.

it is coming down quickly, though. we were at $32k debt just last year

We have 15 - 20K all on 0% interest plans. I don't mind carrying them as long as they are 0%. It was for big purchases, TV, swingset, furniture. We pay them off by the time the 0% is up. Other than that, daily expenses we pay off our card at the end of the month.

None; paid in full every month.

Just finished paying off my doctoral loans before my actual graduation!
Chat Icon So we are loan-free too.

Our car loans are paid off, and I need a new car soon, but we'll probably only get what we can buy cash so as to not have as many monthly bills.
