Yeah, it's off topic, but I'm tempted to respond anyway. Let's just say that if I were offered to give up my first born son in order to set things even, I think I'd be getting off easy.

well, even though it's not in the right forum, I too will answer the question. The answel for me is 0. Though at one time I was about $2k in the hole on my credit card thanks to hot deals. Thanks to being employed, I have paid it off.

I have no debt. I too like to read the forum but I've gone back to school so my trigger finger is growing rusty. School loans are enough! I don't need more.

Of course part of that reason is that I barely ever play games anymore so I don't feel the need to get the latest and greatest.

Personal finance 101: don't buy unecessary things that you can't afford.

I have no debt.

Too much, paying it off bit by bit, not very happy about it either. I think going into debt for hot deals negates its hottness . . .something I've just recently begun to realize.

I don't have any official debt and don't owe any person any amount of money. But I got almost no money either. So the absence of debt isn't a good thing in my case. It's an indication that I need to live a more active life.

I've not gone into debt as a result of hot deals but that forum has made sure I save very little :( Really gotta stop going there one of these days.

None. Screw hot deals. Pricematch at two different stores and bring in coupons so you can mail out three different rebates and jump through 50 different hoops so that in the end you can get an $1100 item that you didn't need in the first place for $700. No thanks.

None at the moment, but I'm waiting for Dell to give me a deal on a FP1900.

Nope. I have a list of things I want to buy or would consider buying. If I see them on Hot Deals... I consider buying them (assuming I have money)

None. I only buy what I can afford to pay off at the end of month. Paying interest on a hot deal won't make it very hot for long.
