So, class, what have we learned?

Keep a good cash reserve -- 6 months to 1 year.

NEVER pile up Credit Card Debt -- it is the dance of the Devil himself.

ALWAYS pay cash.  If you need it, save up for it.  If you can't save up for it, you don't need it.  (truth in advertising: I have a 8 YO "flat screen" -- NOT HD -- TV that seems to do the job well enough for me.  I have a 15 YO surround sound system that still provides surround sound and plays DVDs with great fidelity.)

The only "valid" debt is car payments (on a car payment that is < 15% of your gross) or a Mortgage < 35% of your gross.  But not both.

[Schadenfreude]

We live very modestly. But we still give more to charity than Biden.

We live very modestly. But we still give more to charity than Biden.  :tongue:

As do we.  There are some charities that we feel very passionately about:
* St. Jude's hospital -- this one is truly for the children
* Midnight Mission -- give a man a shave, a meal, a suit and a job and he can reclaim his dignity and become a productive member of society
* CCF -- sponsoring a child who didn't ask to be brought into bad circumstances (we sponsor 2)
* ASPCA -- this isn't PETA, this is pets who can't protect themselves

We give to others as well, and situational charities as the need arises.

This is why I get so pissed at the libtards who DARE to suggest I am "greedy" and "selfish" because I want to decide how to use the money I earned.

Oh, this is a commercial for my charities I listed above :)

God love you Free.... who on earth would ever think you were an arsehole?

Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. ~ Frederic Bastiat, The Law

I need to read The Law one of these days. Actually I have a few books on my bookshelf....

I saw that on one of your screencaps -- GREAT quote and one that should be front and center.

And I wear my assholeosity as the badge it is meant to be. :)  I would have been pissed had I NOT been listed.

  I got some points for the guns in the house---and all the ammo. I probably lost points when I said that I drive everywhere. There's no public transportation near the house.

I am pretty sure I could survive anything but death and I'm working on death but this is just what this quiz says and it is somewhat biased.

You have been saving for a rainy day... or a rainy few years.
While most people may not have as grim of an outlook as you, they're also not as prepared as you.

If society collapses, you'll have plenty of food and resources for you and your loved ones.
And plenty of ammo for anyone who wants to steal from your stockpile

[Tantal]

Regardless of the test (69% for me), we'll do fine. There's always a need for law enforcement when the economy tanks, even if tax revenues are down and they have to make pay cuts. Mrs. Tantal is a RN. They can't get by without her either. My truck's paid-for. Mrs. Tantal's vehicle is about 18 months from being paid-for, and we only owe another 3 years on the house. By 2012, we'll be sitting completely debt-free, so all we'll have to pay for are taxes, utilities, and food.

[JohnnyReb]

Poor health must have knocked me down a good bit....and there was no place to answer, "I own 2 homes, outright". ......still healthy enough to pull the trigger tho.

37% seems kind of high, considering my debt load.   I am employed and I do bike to work.   It doesn't seem that those  should be that positive though.
