Default How deep in debt are you!?

Lots of postings on various sites show everyone has the best of the best a lot of the time. Living beyond your means has become a regular thing for a lot of people I know... losing their job seems like the end of the world if it were to happen.

So... just curious.

Include student loans, vehicles, credit cards, medical bills... i would rather you not include your mortgage though since that debt typically builds equity and what not.

That last section is debatable.

Between my wife and I, we (I) owe approx. $9k on my truck.

Aside from the mortgage were not too bad.

I owe about5k in student loans (will prolly pay that off in a year)

I have around 6k on the buell (hopefully the same on paying that off)

then on my regular cc and 2 store cards I have around 1300 but thats with a few zero interest deals with sears and lowed and will have them knocked out soon. Most of that is just from needing stuff for the new house so I can justify it at least.

The amount of debt is relative to:

A)The amount of credit you have vs the amount of credit you use

B)Your income.


I know people that have over $100K in car loans. They also make over $250K/year.

There are also people that have a $10K car loan that are making under 20k/year. The amount of debt is not important. The important number is your income to debt ratio.

Debt to income is all well and good until that income dries up.

A better indicator is debt to asset ratio.

I know quite a few people that were making big money ($500k+) during the "boom days" of real estate.

They could easily afford the fancy cars, boats and houses they had....

...until they were out of a job.
