Seeing all of the replys to this thread talking about paying off debt made me wonder...

How much debt do most of the users here have?

Feel free to ignore the mortgage and car payments (even though they are technically debt as well).

More than I wish I had but thankfully less than some of my friends. Minus the 2 cars, I have roughly $10k. Paying it off though so it's not that bad.

Zero and man it feels great. Both vehicles are paid for and even our house is financed through a trust setup by my wife's grandmother. If we got in a bad money situation (not able to work, etc), we wouldn't even have to worry about the house payment until we were back on our feet.

I think thats the nature of the message board. A lot of young professionals here starting their lives. That means the usual student loans and credit cards. I was there. I wish the best to all those embarking on their careers and wish their loans get paid off swiftly.

Minus the mortgage and cars...nothing.

But it sure doesn't make it easier on the wallet. Mortgage is a pretty penny these days, and so is the wife's German SUV.

Still got barely enough funds to golf and buy equipment when need be.

My college F'ed me out of a lot of money but I now have job that I wouldnt get without it so I guess it was worth it. I think my total for student loans is like $20,000 or so. I have been out 3 years. Not bad considering I went to St. Louis University and tuition is around $30,000 per year.

Other than house and one vehicle loan, we don't have anymore debt. I am going to try and keep it that way.

I have a car payment, wife's school loans and a Mortgage. Car and school should be paid off in 2 years but the Mortgage alone will still keep me over 25K.

If we're not counting the mortgage than I just have a little over $1k in CC debts, all the cars are paid off

Luckily I don't have any debt. I'm in college right now and my parents have paid for everything since I played baseball up until last year. Now that I'm catching up to the maturity party I'm looking for a job so I can save up for myself and one day be able to take care of my parents, not that they need. You could say I'm fully indebted to them.

Well with the truck payment included, about $8800. Thankfully after I turned 18 I had enough mind to not accept every CC offer thrown my way. I actually didn't get my first CC til I was 20yo. I don't expect to get another one till I marry either.

House, one car, and some student loans. No CC debt, no other debt.

I just graduated in May 07, so I have my student loans. I have like a grand on a 0% credit card, that I'll pay off before the 0% ends. Also have a Infiniti G37 that I have monthly payments for. No mortgage yet.

I have a very small mortgage, which I don't pay off for tax reasons. No car, no credit card debt and no student loans. I count myself as very lucky. I'm hardly a spendthrift though. Always prepared for that rainy day.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
