$108 bucks total.
Gave up on carrying large balances six years ago when it ruined me financially. Learned my lesson. |

Zero! I did have 21,000 at one time though. Managed to float most of it at 0% for about 5 years. You can't do that anymore. The funny part is, my credit rating was excellent when I had all that debt. Now that I paid it off and I'm responsible, it has gone down.
Edit: Want to know how to do an interest/fee free cash advance? Get a zero intro card, pay off another card that doesn't have a balance, then have them send you a check for the overage. Zero fees.

C/C is around 200 bucks until next week when I send them some coin. My C/C is a tool, not a bank. Nothing on the planet is worth 124% of list price. |

I looked at my remaining balance after paying on it for the past 5 years and I still have 15 to go. Oh well, it is a manageable debt because of the low interest rate (2.5%) so I am thankful for that. And I could have made just as much without a degree, but hey I am a "well rounded person" now. LOL At least I finished a 4 year degree. I could tell you of countless relatives like younger cousins and nephews that got a bunch of student loans, wasted it all, never finished school and have to pay for years to come without even the piece of paper from the experience. |

My company has our people use their own credit card for booking business trips and the like and then they reimburse you three weeks later. In fact, every company I have worked for has had the employee use their credit card and then get reimbursed. |

Excluding house, My family has about $1200 of debt right now. Most of that's medical, about $200 is credit card. That should be paid off this month, thanks to some money from my wife's inheritance.

None. I learned my lesson the hard way. Real hard way. Me too Sub. I had to use the "B" word six years ago, and vowed never again. My CC debts ruined my first marriage (a joint use of irresponsibility) and nearly ruined my life. It was all my fault, I blame nobody else. Thankfully, once a person gets on the straight and narrow financially, it was relatively easy to obtain a 700 score by just using cards as a tool, not as an instrument of instant gratification. |

I have never had a credit card. I am 29, my house and truck is payed off, I have no debts other than utilities. I've lived like a pauper compared to others in my income bracket, but now I can bank as much as 30% of each paycheck. I'll start saving for a new house this spring, might be ready to buy something nice in 2-3 years. With cash. Unless I get stupid and marry again

Now that I am responsible and don't carry a balance, I got two letter a week ago.
Both of them stated in no uncertain terms that if I do not charge on the cards, they will be taken away. Darned if you, darned if you don't. |

Couple of years ago it was pushing $30k
I'm glad that period of my life is behind me. Now the balance stays at zero or I start going crazy. (most of it was buying a car on the CC because of better interest rates at the time.)

I was a small business owner at one time and had to close down shop in 2003 (partly due to a deployment). I came home from that deployment to over $175k in business debt, and chose to assume it personally rather than declare bankruptcy and stick people who hadn't done anything wrong. I sucked a business owner, but that was nobody else's fault but mine. That choice hurt me personally financially for a long time.
Anyway, that $175k is down to one final store credit card (that's under 5%) and totals about $10k on it. Yep, $10k in CC debt sucks, but its a hell of a lot better than it was, and it will be gone in under 4 months finally. CC debt sucks, but with some discipline and work it can be chewed down. I have personal cards I use now, but they are set to auto-pay the full balance (hence no interest) every month. And that makes sure I only spend what I can afford, and the CC is for convenience and not a loan. |
