lol l'm better off than l have been for a while but l still have student loans a bank overdraft and l'm paying old credit card debts off its like treading water after the titanic sank brrrrrr

I consider myself financially stable and not because I have a lot of money. I learned long ago how to get by on what I've got. I don't have any credit debt so all I have to meet is the basics.
One of my sons lives with me and helps out with his SSI and I get a good amount back from taxes each year due to him and we do ok.

I was financial stable when I was working....
unfortunately I have gone onto disability... making ends meet is very difficult now.... I hope to be working again this year.. I Pray...

I'm with DDyer - all the basics, scrimping, nothing extra.

ditto on that

Applied for Food stamps today...praying I get approved

For now, rent is paid and we have groceries. That will just have to do for now. Hubby got laid off back in late November so we are barely skating by, there is absolutely no extra. It bums me out but I feel blessed to at least have our basic needs met, so many who can't afford that much.

Bills are being payed and we have food and a rough over our head. Nothing extra though.

I live in a house, I pay the bills (almost all) and my family eats at least 2 times a day.

my CC are maxed,I've been on red every end of themonth last 6 months.

I'm stable.
But struggling... very shaky indeed.

I am the same as Tadeo

My hubby lost his job in Sept and we are in the same boat as everyone else...bills paid, food on the table and little to nothing left. My birthday is saturday and I am making myself dinner and a cake! Cuz' we have no money to do anything else....but I'm grateful for what we do have even tho it is stressful at times.

i by no means financially stable...i wish i was but im not....one day i will be! ! !

At the moment I am financially stable but I'm still cleaning up from my last manic episode. I have about $10,000 still to pay off. I have my house and I pay my bills but I have nothing in savings or a 401k or anything like that.

I'm making my bills at the moment, but it's a touch and go proposition!! Gulp!!! (And my bills aren't much!)

I do very well thank you.......Comes at the cost of emotional stability though..............There is always a price!!!

Debt is a relative concept. The Banks ran up a trillion dollars of debt and could not pay and we bailed them out. The US owes China over 900 billion in bonds which they service but could not pay if called for the capital. If you can service debt and pay interest then you are fine. If at the end when you have no assets, no credit, no income and no money then do a General Motors and file for bankruptcy. The big boys, our betters, the elite do this so why is it wrong for the rest of us.

I don't think this is anyone's business....

BTW~ I'm in a pissy mood right now....
