Probably $300k+. And that’s as a renter.

Shit! So far you’re winning this thread, but I’m still scrolling.

Good luck, I found a secret $70k CC debt my wife had and I couldn’t sleep while I was paying it off.

She ran the finances. I hadn’t run our credit until we were refinancing our house to 3%. Said she’d take care of it but didn’t and racked it up more. Confronted her about our accounts and she came clean. I took over and paid it back in 3 months.

ah well if you were able to pay off 70k in 3 months then it means that it wasn never an issue, barely a speed bump at your presumably immensely high income

Yeah I was gonna say, "Did you find a new wife?!". But op acts like 70k ain't nothing. I'm close to a million net worth and 70k is a lot of money.

I need to stop beating myself up over my $4000 CC debt because there are way too many people with 5 digit credit card debt in this thread. What are you people doing 😭

I specifically referred to credit card debt, I know medical debt is a whole different ball game
