Hear about how much debt everyone in the US has all the time, curious about some of your stories!

My bad debt is 10k left on a school loan from a for profit school that is now out of business.

Only other debt is house.

So how are you all doing with debt management?

Seattle Washington area

10k in credit cards

110k in loans

430k mortgage

20k car loan

Credit cards are a little high but that's just because I just took a vacation to Japan. I feel like I'm in a good place otherwise. I was lucky enough to buy my house before the pandemic when interest rates were super low and prices hadn't yet spiked so I'm hoping to sell it in a few years when the interest comes back down. My loans are 50k I took out of my 401k as a down payment on house, 35k for a heloc to fix the house, and 20k on a personal loan.

Oh that sounds stressful. Hopefully things work out as that feels like a lot.
