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?

Went into 30k debt thanks to school and being injured and getting 1/3 of what I use to make. Had to use CC and other means which in itself was digging a bigger hole. I am 3k away from being done with fuckin debt. No house since this all happen during 08-10 fall out. 13 years. FML

Almost out of that trash debt then you can focus on your goals friend!

Hopefully things are looking up!

Hopefully but hopefully there's no 2008 2.0 either. Wouldn't wish it anybody and the new workforce.
