On the credit card debt poll 7 people have down that they have more than 100,000 dollars of credit card debt. I hope thats a joke. I couldn't imagine carrying that much credit card debt.

[dissimulo]

I imagine you have to be pretty wealthy to qualify for $100K in credit card debt, so it may not big such a big problem for them comparatively.

I have a good credit record, good paycheck, and plenty of assets and no one has ever offered me more than a $10K credit limit.

The poll says "credit debt". I took that to mean all debts. I have way more than $100k in total debt ($150K in medschool loans alone). I certainly don't have $100K in credit card debt though.

Yes, there's a mistake on the poll: someone understands "credit card", some other understands "all debts". You should clarify...

[crow]

You should definately make clear if it should include mortgage, personal loans or credit card debt.

On the other hand I have known some people who had over 100K in credit card debt. They ended up selling their homes to pay off the bill; basically trading the credit card debt for a mortgage.

might not be wise, but seemed to have worked.

[PrairieMule]

Yeah, it could be misleading. I owe 100K on my mortgage but only 5K between my wife's car and both our credit cards.

PairieMule, can I start a topic with "holy F@ck"? I know lanuage in posts are not usually moderated but having bad lanuage in the topic header I think is against the COD. Not that I care at all but just since your now a moderator, I don't want you to get in trouble. I would like to become a moderator, but not a forum moderator, I'm waiting for them to advertise someone to manage the paypal donations

Energy RoundTable

I thought I would mention this as it is in itself not worthy of a topic, but I believe people who normally don't frequent FSN, it may be missed. Todays roundtable has Richard Heinberg & James Howard Kunstler. I'm quite disapointed in the guests Jim has on his show for this roundtable, he said last week that they were going to put together a unbiased show and really attack the issue of peakoil. I fear this roundtable will just be a peaknik orgey of masturbation. Jim Puplava is a self confessed peaknik who has been studying peakoil for 10 years, and these other two people are very bias. I know Jim has faith in renewable energy somewhat, but the others do not. I was hoping for some other guests who are not in the Peak Oil camp so there will be a good debate. I look forward to listening to it, but is going to be so one sided that I'm going to disregard alot of what is said. Sorry for highjacking this thread.
