Living Debt Free?


Posted: Jan 25, 2010

How good does it make you feel?

Basically only having a house payment if that.

Rather owning older items so more money is not used then needed.

Of course we may all have nicer items if we won a few million, since that is not the case we do what we can.

Well, I THINK it would make me feel AWESOME! Unfortunately, I've never been able to put myself completely in that position . . . working on it though!

Cannot wait for that day....was in the position - sm -

for a few years, just the mortgage, but lived way beyond means for about five years and paying the price now. Will have the the debts including mortgage paid off over the course of the next 3.5 to 6 years, as long as no curveballs are thrown. Hoping everything goes according to plan, if so before I am 50 will be totally debt-free, that will be very nice.

Here's What I Love About Living In AmericaJan 05, 2011
Whatever side of the aisle you're on, today was a perfect example of why this country is so great - the peaceful and respectful transfer of power.  I'm reminded of this every time there is a swearing in - felt the same way when Obama was sworn in as President and Bush waved as he got on the plane to leave DC.  We are so lucky to live in a country where this can happen without the threat of people getting killed and riots in the streets.  I know the peaceful and respectfu ...

Uncomfortable With DebtAug 09, 2011
Does Debt Make You Uncomfortable? After years of being in debt where 90% was not even yours, you feel so much better being debt free. Then something comes up where you have to be in debt again with 80% having nothing to do with you with worry of where that could end up. Really not a fan of debt, I rather use funds that exist, however when something medical comes up there is only so much that can be done, even being needed ones does not have to be comfortable with it. ...

We divorced 5 yrs. ago, a 72 month car loan that he drove and kept was/is in my name only, as he had bad credit. He recently defaulted on the loan, they can't find the car, holding me responsible. (We are both on the car title).  And yes I did sign for the loan, will not do any good to get a court ordering him to refinance as he will ignore it, he has nothing to lose and he can't get a loan anyway. He has a criminal history is facing more charges this month, might end up back in p ...

$14T and growing at a rate of $4 billion a day! Isn't that just ducky! The government borrows 41 cents for every dollar it spends and we, the people,  every man, woman, and child, equals $45,300. I'm so glad my 3-yo grandson will have a good life. Has the TARP money been applied to this debt? I didn't see anything in any article on that. What to do?
