No debt other than daily purchases on my credit card that I pay off every month. House, however, will come soon enough. 11/16/2012 11:20:27 AM |

stop making loans easier and easier to get while at the same time cutting federal and state funding
we need risk-based student loans with rates that are dependent on a schools job placement rate, previous student average starting salary, degree, and grades
(we have about $20k in student loans we are paying and the payments are manageable and the rates are low)

1 credit card - (will be paid off by end of this year)-though I'm keeping the card as revolving credit
Student Loans-not in a hurry to pay them off bc the rate is so low.
No mortgage
$750 Care Credit for my dogs Vet Bills- 0% interest for 18 months or I would just get rid of it 11/16/2012 11:54:11 AM |

About $5K left in school $2K left in in first car loan $7K left in second car loan $7.5K in CC (Getting married cost more than I thought Was working it down, but a medical procedure set me back)
Expect it all to be gone over the next 2 years, and a new mortgage to eat away at me. 11/16/2012 6:42:47 PM |
