We are so disappointed ...
I like how 32% are completely debt free. Must be nice to be in your late teens/early twenties and have a couple houses paid for.
What are you babbling about? Not everybody is a debt monger. I am 47 and have never owed a dime in my life except if you count the house mortgage I took out on a house to live in while I was in graduate school....but I could have bought the house with cash. I worked and paid for both my college degrees. I have always bought my cars with cash, new and old. I just don't believe in debt unless you consider a month's worth of gas on a credit card actually debt. I pay those off every month and always have since I got the cards in college 25+ years ago.
Some of us were raised right and taught to be net savers. I had more in my retirement investments when I was 30 then most people have when they are in their 50's if the data I have seen lately is actually true. I have always lived well below my means but since I buy wisely it actually seems to some as if the opposite is true. The nice thing is now at 47 I can basically do whatever I want, even though I don't.
$0.00
Or you know, some of us just don't dig the hole in the first place.how many of you are leaving out getting seeded with trust accounts or coming into inheritance?
im also 47 bought my house when i was 23 paid in 15 years. paid cash for my wife's cars but my trucks i would take a loan out business expense (i own my own business) and depreciation. had a lot of money saved then 2 years ago wife left me for someone else lost a ton of money. but got 2 great kids out of that deal. but im debt free

Not that I won't be mortgaging a house if/when I decide to start a family or something. But I'll be putting way more down than most.
Well that wasn't really the question either, but it's far more clear now.That wasn't the question...those that are bragging of owning their homes free and clear and buying a ton of cars.
Where are you living now though and why do you need a family to own a home?
interesting how your tone and grammar changes. at times you try hard to sound like an immigrant, other times its..well, like above.

$0, own my truck, will inherit a bunch of houses/rentals, so no major payments for me. I'm not the type to go out a buy something on payments, if I don't have the cash I won't buy it. I don't get people who buy brand new cars off the lot and still go to college.
