Zero. School and my car are paid for, and I rent, so no mortgage right now.

Planning to blow a fair chunk of my savings traveling in Europe later in the Spring though, but I want to do that while I'm still young - going to be an awesome time!

Mortgage + a small amount of student loans. ~$135K in total. No credit cards or any other line of credit to deal with.

~7k on my car note, and that's it. Of course, once the wife an I buy a house, all bets are off......

I find it cruelly ironic that now that I have no debt and more money than I thought I'd ever have ... I don't want anything. Crap!

Hmm, lets see here
$110K on the house
$40K in cars
No credit cards
so $150K

And in the typical ATOT response. I plan on having it paid off by the time I finish this post.

Too many people with CC debt, its amazing how they manage to spend more than they can afford. Putting a necessity on a CC and paying it over time, or student loans, or mortgage or car loan seems normal. But just spending without limits is beyond me.

But 2/3 of my future plans require around $20k in debt, which I don't see as so bad since I avoided student loans so far.

Just my house, I'm pretty much putting all extra funds towards getting it paid off.

No kidding! And the OP... you'd rather pay a stupid tax on your investment than pay off a high interest CC? You're crazy. Seriously, unless your investment return is higher than your CC interest rate, you're being really, really dumb. That brings up another point: not all debt is not bad. Big banks know this. Ever heard of leverage?

If you're going to pay off the CC in the near future, why not just do it ASAP rather than pay the ridiculous interest?
