    Add me to the owe nothing brigade.
    I like being able to say "Its mine"
    Even the credit card has a $0.00 outstanding balance. I hardly ever use it

    We too owe nothing apart from a mortgage.
    We have an AMEX so that has to be paid off every month and we load as much as we can off that which gives us lovely lovely points to get things for free
    Could live in a nicer house but enjoy actually living life and not being constrained by a tight budget.

    Christ is it easy to rack up credit card debt. Admittadly I'm a student and most went on textbooks but it's difficult to get motivated to pay it off. However the first thing I did when I sold my bike was to chuck $500 bucks in there to pay it off then some.

    Trap really.

    It's not for everyone, but it's a good leg up for those that can...
    interesting. Ive acted for quite a few (like maybe 5 or so) of these this year. It can be an excellent way to proceed. Given I dont do a lot of entry level conveyancing work, it seems to be a trend that is gaining ground.

    As long as you know the EXIT strategy going IN, you're fine (works for corners on ya motorbike too.....)

    Ive always found a 19.95% interest rate was good motivation to pay off my credit card...

    I wouldnt trust buying a house with complete strangers. Some flatmates have been good, others less so...but Ive never wanted to live with any of them indefinately.

    You also left out the option when a P head sinks the company you work for forcing you to sell your investment property, your BMW & loose $40,000 cash



    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
