Shit! I don't know if you are counting medical debts... since I decided that fighting cancer was a legitimate reason to incur some bills... Well, guess what? I applied for assistance from VA and was approved so... debt free!!!! Wooo hoo!!! You guys were right about not worrying about it!

Well... I can think of a few ways you could earn some extra dough, baby....

Maybe a part time job?

What, no category for people who have a positive liquid worth?

College is all I have left.

I owe a little over $500 on my personal loan for my bike. Other than that its golden. Not credit cards either. Just call me Cash.

Groceries $2-300
That's about it...

Where I save money over most people is by not drinking, smoking or going out to eat too often. I know people who drop $500+ on those 3 things alone per month. Not to mention my lack of sponges...I mean spouses and children...

where the hell is rent only $460 these days?

and cable + internet only $40????????

with what channels?

0 debt, but I rent.
However I'm month to month so if I lose my job I can move to a less expensive place.
I took Dave Ramsey's advice 3 years ago (except the rent thing).

I'm prob ok on my house. If I'm upside down, it's not by much. Doesn't matter, I'm not moving in the next 10 years. My CC debt is up there but not anything I couldn't knock out in 8-10 months. I'm a bit reckless with my money and frankly, I'm ok with it. I've got some tucked away for retirement...some tucked away for emergencies, and blow the rest like a crack whore scoring rock.

I make decent scratch and my wife does as well. If things were a little tighter it would be a different story. We kinda do what we want. The baby has certainly put us in check a bit more.

Where I live...My rent at a duplex was $450 with free gas. Then I moved to a house around the corner, rent dropped to $300... Mom became my landlord.

Basic cable is about $40 though we don't have that.
