Hear about how much debt everyone in the US has all the time, curious about some of your stories!

My bad debt is 10k left on a school loan from a for profit school that is now out of business.

Only other debt is house.

So how are you all doing with debt management?

Lol looking at some of the debt ledgers in here, I bet you "can"

Oh, I "can". I just know that $4000/mo is not what we can "afford". We'd sooner squeeze into her apartment for $1000/mo and not be responsible for anything.

I mentioned in this thread somewhere that I believe we're in for another 2008 collapse. If I cannot afford a mortgage who the fuck is signing those papers? Same uneducated buyers and predatory lenders as in 2003-2008. I predict a collapse starting this time next year based on I'm high and I just woke up.
