how much debt are you in?

[anonin]

currently:

1700 on the american express
500 on the mastercard
6000 student loans

not too bad, i know a lot of people who have a LOT more debt. I didn't have a job for 2 months and was basically living off my credit cards, so i'm currently paying those off. So, what about you guys?

^ Jesus 60k? I owe 12K and I dont even bother thinking about it. Otherwise I'd never relax. I got a statement from them showing that I rack up ?31 a month in interest charges - then they tell me that they will be taking ?40 a month from my salary. Therefore I'm only paying ?9 a month off my debt. If they want to be that stupid I'll let them!

I think I owe $17,000 for my student loans, but thats all the debt I have at the moment. I'd like to keep it that way too.

Man, I'd give my left nut for $60K. I'm finally down to a 5 digit number, but I'm in the upper $90K range in student loan debt. Otherwise, no significant unsecured debt to speak of -- couple of grand in credit cards, but that's just because of some recent and imminent travel, so that will be gone fairly soon.

Not counting the mortgage, of course, because I don't really think of that as "debt."
