American debt: Are you in deeper or ahead of the average?

[comradebillyboy]

37. I have zero debt. I've always paid my credit cards off

every month. We have always lived within out means and avoided unnecessary debit. We always put as much money into employer retirement accounts as we could. Now at the end of our lives we are financially comfortable. It hasn't always been easy but we were diligent.

I paid my mortgage off a while back. Now my biggest financial problem is where to spend the mandatory disbursement from my deferred income accounts every year.

I've been a wage slave all my life and I never thought I would be this well off.
